Poet’s Recourse

Why should I add another word
To words already spoke and heard.
Because to say, "The morning web was hung with light."
Is not to say,
"A spider gathered jewels today."

Didn't that spider collect those diamonds overnight. I was delighted to read this one. Sara K

He was waiting for more to form. Thanks for your lovely comment. I have been having an ultra busy summer due to Hurricane Helene. Getting more normal now. SuZ

So many ways to say the same thing! I like both of these. Either way, that spider sure made the most of the sunshine, the dew, and his little spinneret!
