Exquisite Work of Art
A work of art
laboriously created
exquisitely spun
silken magic,
dainty looking
do not let this fool you
she is strong enough to survive
most rain storms,
and study enough to capture prey
her maker sits close by
as to not scare lunch
beads of water from last night
help her shimmer and dazzle
the tiny bugs are intrigued
mesmerized, they begin to climb
toward their final destination.
mother spider arrives in time to
wrap them carefully
lunch and supper
