Silken Thread

Silken Thread

Come and sit spider whispered, rest upon my silken thread
Tarry here within my artwork, naught a fear for you to dread

Sorry Miss the fly called softly, your silken thread is but a trap
I will rest among the roses, breathe perfume and taste their sap

Please be careful whispered spider, of the thorns along their stems
For I fear that you will find them, harsher than my silken thread

Thank you Miss the fly called softly, among the roses I will stay
For I know what fate awaits me 
Should I tarry long, on silken thread
