Gossamer Snare

In pale dawn light, when dew drops glisten, I listen to a chorus of larks as they chatter. Scattered about my garden, lilies are in bloom. Perfumed petals varnished by the fulgent sun. Spun, is a tangled web between the leaves, as a busy spider weaves a gossamer snare. October 11, 2022 Bitesize Poem No. 53 A contest by Line Gauthier

Your verse poem Jenna, creates a grand garden image. From larks to spiders, you cover song + predatory waiting. Delightful! Best wishes, Brian

Wow! I really like the way this is penned, both vibrant beauty and impending death entwined in actuality and potentiality on nature’s diverse canvas

Thank you for such kind thoughts, and the pun, too, John. I would've gone there, too!

Another lyrical gem, Miss Jenna. (oops, just Jenna). ~;o)

Thank you very much, Arlo. You would think a poetry site would not be an atmosphere in which they'd like to hang out. This one is a return visitor with revenge on his mind when he should be apologizing to lots of people instead of continuing to harass them.

I got the drift but now the offender's comments are gone. Trolls seem so out of place in the desired serenity of PS. Pity. :o)

Thanks so much for your sentiments, Arlo. btw... Milt's blog was about a troll who appears under fake names in order to harass certain poets, like a buzzing mosquito.
