Notes About The Poem

Written July 27 2026 

Spider

Silky white web art thrown like paint
Precious pearl like pride unlike saint
In it’s ebony eyes many bugs a delight
Doomed to demise as live dinner tonight 
Emerald June bug passively to die
Red sun conceals web in jaded July

Hello Karen, Such a sharp truth in the way you capture summer. We so often try to soften nature, but you caught its indifferent precision. You managed to make a cold, predatory moment feel strangely eloquent without dressing it up in unnecessary romance. That is why you are a great poet. Blessings, Daniel

I am honored you think so much of me. I am mediocre and at times inspired to grow to be better. Sometimes I am shamefully content and write for myself. Hugs dear Daniel you made my day!
