spider web
My writing group has been sharing writing prompts in this time of isolation.
The most recent prompt was ‘spider web.’
Took me an hour to find a spider photo since I am spider-averse.

spider web
~
web enlarges spider
her domain, her coefficient of creep
extends her occupation of space
~
trap for unwary
blue-bottle flies
beetles on the wing
and gnats, nattering
~
all of the cobwebs
I have brushed from my face
would not weigh a gram
but they take up
a fair chunk
of brainscape
~
just as the spider
is sensitive to vibration
my skin notices
the sub-threshold of touch
the tiniest occupant
of my domain

All my best,
Jane
a moment of beautiful: wild roses
the place: beside the road into our cabin
the beautiful: pink roses in bloom (and the dark pink rosebuds)

Notice a little spider found his way into the photo (about 12 o’clock on a petal).

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
