Gossamer threads spun
like silk ~ intricately done
into spider's home

Catch me silken web
Wrap me in your tender touch
Let me rest my head.

hehehehehe
I thought it was going to be about the WWW. Of course, then it would have been a senryu, as the WWW isn't found in nature, just in the nature of man.

Enjoyed that it was about a real web in nature. Great haiku!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Very well done!! Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

VAS, I was worried about the title causing confusion, so I changed it after reading your reply. Thanks, Cheryl

Well done Cheryl.  I like these haiku poems.  I think I might have to get the rules to writing them and give it a shot myself.  I noticed it is 5, 7, 5 with the meter, and it has to convey an image.  Is there anything else?
