This exquisite piece, dear Valsa, aptly encapsulates a ubiquitous occurrence that transpires ceaselessly, day in and day out. Allow me to express my profound gratitude for sharing this gem with us.

Dearest Valsa, your have "captured" both the beauty and the ominous character of the web as the spider patiently waits for dinner! Not only is this haiku visual I can hear the trapped housefly! Wonderfully done in seventeen syllables! Blessings my friend. Best wishes for the contest.

The hair on my arms is standing up straight as I visualize that 'creepy spider!' ~ Webfoot

I'd say that creepy spider is a hungry spider. LOL Delightful read Valsa. :)

Better than a flyswatter -- as long as they don't get out of hand and wander onto my pillar at night, I let them and their webs be. Even flies I hate killing, letting the spider do my dirty-work and have a juicy meal in the process:) Love it! Well done Valsa!
