Jan Allison Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

IMAGE FROM PIXABY.COM

Catch of the Day

I
observe
a
spider
as she spins
silken
threads.
Early
morning dew
makes them sparkle
like diamonds
in the
bright
sunshine.
She’s ready
to catch
fresh
flies for
lunch

Kim Rodrigues June 10, 2021 at 5:14 PM Spiders spinning everywhere! Jan Allison June 11, 2021 at 5:12 AM i love to see their webs outside just cant abide spiders in the house lol:-) hugs jan xx

Terry Flood June 10, 2021 at 3:39 PM Smashing write, Jan, in a format that struck me as too much like hard work. [you're not cracking up, I deleted my previous comment about syllable counters because I’d missed the fact that ‘Like’ was included in the count. What can I say, it was late and past my bedtime ;-)] Jan Allison June 11, 2021 at 5:12 AM lol thanks Terry, i often comment late into the night too and this form was challenging with the different syllable counters showing different numbers:-) hugs jan xx
