Such a Clever Thing

Such a clever thing

The spider crawls
Along the line
To spin a web
It’s silk 
Woven like magic
Spreading wide
High up in the air
The glass like yarn
Stretching out
To the fence
Just how 
Can a small thing
Take its formation
From hedge
To window to flower
Balancing on silk
So strong
The morning sun
Shining upon the thread so thin
As you awake
To the magical creation
Of a woven maze
Presented by 
A spider
So tiny!

Dave Timperley December 15, 2015 at 10:16 AM I love your imagery Gail. A web at night in a frost is amazing! No wonder The Bruce was inspired in that cave. God Bless. D. Gail Underwood December 16, 2015 at 2:45 PM Thank you for your lovely feedback Dave

Old Buck December 10, 2015 at 7:03 PM Gail: You've just described one of God's miracles of nature. A wonderful plan for a tiny bug to catch bigger bugs to live on. :o) It almost made me itch to think he might be nearby. Thanks for sharing those thoughts so well put with all of us here at Soup. oldbuck Gail Underwood December 13, 2015 at 2:55 PM Thank you for lovely feedback
