A Masterpiece In the Sun

He worked for hours Spinning and spinning Concentrating like he never had before This was the most important web he had ever spun And the sun was due to rise in about an hour Silken strands all arranged in the most spectacular mosaic A stained glass window without any colors Shiny and sophisticated Fragile yet exuding strength His mosaic was the Best of the Show As the sun began to crest over the tall pines The spider's heart began to race a million miles a minute He held his breath and hoped that this would be the greatest Rembrandt of his life The other creatures gathered around Inspecting the art work of the very worn spider Applause! Applause, again and again! They liked it and it was just a simple flower He spun the most delicate flower he had ever saw which sat adjacent to his most elegant web He wanted to capture a moment in time A moment when the dew hit the petals of the dainty flower that he had inspected for hours over the past few days Now he had scored a home run with his forest friends An almost exact replica of his adoring flower gwendolen rix 10-15-15
