in the shelter of the covered bridge – through a spider’s web

web

~

after the rain,

says the spider,

I am purveyor of worlds

~

peer through my web

800 raindrops

inverse images

~

each a replica

of roof, walls and passageway

joists and beams

~

loops of lenses

strands of crossing

binocular bracelets

~

built a web to catch

the rain? I don’t think so

but insects never came to call

~

so I am content

with captured

covered bridges

~

swimmers, girls gone fishing

and the occasional

Chevrolet

~

  2. How interesting, the way raindrops can be lenses that change the perspective of spiders, as well as the way we interpret the world. I love the way your drawing illustrates your delightful poetry.

    • Hi Barbara. I am working on the beginning to a series of poems about animals and plants in and around covered bridges. Getting comfortable with the topic! Jane

  3. Binocular bracelets…what an intriguing image, capturing linkages, distance, close-up, and images of coming and going, looking, seeing, watching, and circles, webs…perfect.
