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.

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 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.
