Spring Clings

Splendiferous skies
Sunflower sunrise
haystacks of lilacs
pastel daisies play
with robins and jays

fragrant grass finds
bunny behinds
cotton lambs coo
earth's lush rebirth

a spring dream
until my
face hits a

clinging
bug filled

web

Those webs are no fun at all. Very descriptive work. I have enjoyed reading these in the past but haven't written one in quite some time. I will have to try my hand at them again soon. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara

Hi Michelle, Back in circulation have had 2 nightmare weeks - my husband had a major operation and then strict recuperation was imperative - still not completely well but thank God he is on the mend. An awesome poem, blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

I can just imagine seeing the fly with the human head stuck in the web and crying "help me". Great write.

And the spider's thinking 'Look at the size of that bug!' Thanks for the fun comment, Robert~

How did I miss this wonderful write as POTD?! I must be going blind or something. I think that the way you 'diminished the hexaverse' magnifies exponentially the impact of this poem! Congrats, Michelle! :) gw

"bunny behinds and cotton lambs coo" I am smiling and giggling at the same time. :) Everything is peachy, until you slam into that sticky spider web. Yuck ! I know many of us can relate. Congratulations Michelle, on Poem of the Day. :) Hugs, Brandy
