An Observation

Silk and light double glades of beauty on a wire of thin 
I cannot help but wonder how long it took him to spin 
this singular string of intricate structure, this web 

Early morning sips , the air brushes my rousing cheek
as the sun yawns out I observe softly, but do not speak 
this natural fibre of ancient wisdom still hasn't ebbed  

its incandescent firey blaze is a mirage a shaft of light 
the remnant of a spider still attached from yester night 
this arachnid wanderer of dawn by morning's celeb,  

has captured my imagination and my inquisitive mind
this creature of weave has me, vaguely entwined...

Rose, your detailed "Observation" of a "creature of weave" and his handiwork is amazing, and you have "captured my imagination." Congratulations on your second-place, podium finish on Mile 4 of my 2022 Poetry Marathon Contest. Mile 5 has already started!

The Black Widow's web is noted for its strength, but they are a bit touchy about our using it! Enjoyed! Aloha!

Spiders create such intricate, splendid designs, doing natures brilliant handiwork. You've captured how blessed we are by all God's creatures--great and small. Robert

breathtaking...a delicious walk in the wonder of it...a simple web becomes a meandering of visual beauty, still lost in the mystery of this....deftly executed, take a gracious bow, my lady, the audience is quiet because they still are in awe

Dear Rose, how wonderful that "this creature of weave" (love this!) has captured your amazement in his silky spin. I appreciate your beautiful observation of a truly exquisite natural structure. I am amazed by the intricate beauty of spider webs too, especially when the silken threads shine with iridescence in the sun. Such a splendid poem! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I too am intrigued and fascinated each time, when I see a spider's web ! This gossamer fabric is spun with great artistry. The intricate structure leaves us in awe ! Beautifully composed, dear Rose.
