A Reason for Rhyme
Virginia Salter

wheat fields stand limp
in the morning blanket of dew
spiders nestle in their self-made trestles
cocoons hang from twigs and branches exposed
as leaves tumble
to their winter beds

frosty kisses glisten
atop geranium leaves
like sugar-coated dressings
autumn-painted blessings grace early morning hours
as waves of shadow and light
dance in sun’s glow

six to hundred-legged creatures
creep and crawl between the features
of the land caressed with time
zero to four-limbed beings burrow deep into the seams
of soil and of dreams a season to season
a reason for rhyme

VAS~
This is an intricate webbing of phrase~
Most delightful to me was ~

'spiders nestle in their self-made trestles'

Most enjoyable.

Virginia...do we reside next door to each other? for I have seen this picture often, but have failed to put it to word as you have...well done!
