Spider Haiku

tiny spider web
catches this fallen blossom
wrong prey to pounce on.

Dear Suzanne, these are great Haiku First ones I have read by YOU. You had to see the Spider grab the blossom. I saw a spider go after a Pine needle. He tore it out of the web and rewove the web in a matter of seconds. Haiku and Senryu are 2 of my favourite forms.Superb Pen. LOVE ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry

The latter line cements this series Suzanne. Their paths never deviate as they know exactly where they are stranded, by that I mean attached in the awaiting. Nice write, have a lovely weekend, James :)

Hi Andrea: Lovely to see you. I did these for a oriental stamp Art Kimono series and I was hooked. The first one was a real scene I saw once and it did make me chucle to see the spider run out only to find a blossom. Hugs, SuZ
