Cobweb
A creeping creature silent,
full of motivational spirit,
a spider is the designer of web,
the fly-trap of opportunities.
Many good chances I couldn’t catch,
so, before my time ran out,
how to weave the fabric of life for success
I wanted to learn from the art of making web.
I brought home a bag of spiders,
let one free to crawl out,
and make a cobweb I could see,
but it disappeared behind the wall clock.
In half-sleep one night
I saw the spider come out of the clock,
and I felt eerily it creep on my face,
I got a shuddering fearful shock.
I got up shaken in fright,
looked into the mirror
the spider I didn’t see,
but saw the cobweb time made on my face.
