Watching from an old porch swing An artist hangs from a string Weaving without any hands Carefully placing silk strands With masterpiece on display A tapestry, lace design Up close observers must pay Their life, on which she will dine 5-30-2018 by Daniel Turner

G'day Daniel … well done. Spiders do fascinate me with their artistry and ability to lure the unsuspecting. Enjoyed - Lindsay

Hi Daniel, this is a gem to read my friend. I could read this one over and over. The webs can be so beautiful, the occupants, well, say no more, i am an Arachnaphobic. I loved the content of this wonderful write my friend. Has to be a fave Daniel. Have a wonderful Thursday. Your friend always....Mike.

Had to read this clever poem twice before I got the point. Slowness comes with age, friend. I have one about the spider on somewhat the same amazing theme. It may still be on my post. Congratulations on your win, be it belatedly. / M

Oh what a deceptive web she weaves. One always gets drawn by the 'magic' of a spider spinning its web. Awesome poem Daniel. Congratulations on your fine win...Maria

Really enjoyed (and identified with) this one, Daniel---once had a roommate out East who tried the Greenwich Village scene for a year...and lost 35 pounds! Love the title and the poem. Congrats on your richly deserved win in the contest! ~ Gershon
