Could ever be my world like this?
A landscape formed of tissue light
Few strings attached will keep it up
A Spider in her world is bright

She runs her house from center point
Vibrations hit her right at heart
Keeping track of every line
A Spider in her world is smart

She uses wind as transportation
Builds her house each day anew
Bungee jumping is her skill
A Spider in her world's not blue

The only thing withholding me
Is that I have to eat my man
And as I do have fear of heights
A bungee jump is no good plan

So I'll just watch her world from here
Standing at a distance safe
And tell you honestly the truth
I like Spiders, but I'm not brave







Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

"Bungee jumping is her skill"


LOL, what a great perspective!

This was a true treat and joy to read and I absolutely loved the bungee jump line.  Glad to see your name here and hope to see it many times more.

Titia, I promise you this, I will never forget your line about bungee jumping when I see a spider hanging from a silken filament.

I'm sure that if you were a spider, you would not be of the man-eating variety!

Loves 'n Laughs,
Linda
