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."

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!

Always different ways of saying the same thing. A poet can't resist putting his/her own unique spin. Very nice
