Notes About The Poem

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."

Joe It has happened so quickly that our heads are spinning. Now that leaves me speechless and wondering where will it all end.

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!
