Daniel Turner Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Starving Artist

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

John Hamilton June 27, 2018 at 9:11 AM Just noticed the gem of a poem, I see it won a contest, and is climbing the top 100(pun intended) belated congrats on a commentary on a masterpiece of nature!

Maurice Rigoler June 23, 2018 at 3:28 PM 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

Robert Lindley June 20, 2018 at 9:38 AM Brilliant creation my friend. I dislike spiders but their webs are beautiful creations. As is your win with this excellent poem.. A fav...

Maria Williams June 16, 2018 at 6:29 AM 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

Gershon Wolf June 12, 2018 at 12:23 PM 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
