A Lady’s Lace

much to my delight
I found some spider lace
latitued strings of silk
that a delicate touch had placed
semitransparent labyrinth
well-done masterful weave
beautiful interlocking threads
priceless gift the lady did leave
glistening in the morning sun
with special decorating flair
dew adorned it with rainbows
hanging the perfect prisms there
a magical work of art stitched
on the weeds found by me
spun to form enchanted lace
the fabric of my poetry

"Don't let the mistakes of your past be the journey of your future."

helen,
Yup, you'll always get my vote. Lovely.

Anything to do with lacemaking has my vote - even if it is by spiders. Where's the voting thingy?

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
