Cobwebs

cob webs gather in the quiet corner
congregating mind dust
adhering to the vacant synapses
vibrating in the heat of random thought.

Sorry mate, but the reason that you haven't featured in my finalists is a mere 6 characters. I copied this piece onto a "compose tweet" window and you exceeded by about one word. Thanks for alerting me to this piece as I did want to talk with the poet who entered it. So take away six characters and I'd like to promote this one through my twitter page all I can. I suggest erasing "conjugating". Feel free to PS mail me with your thoughts.

Thanks Kim, I don't tweet so this was a unique challenge to a computer/smartphone dinosaur.
