Best Cobwebs Poems

Sometimes life is the tragedy
of a fly, caught in a cobweb -
awaiting its fate.

It's happening again,
a child of summer misplaced
in the dawn of autumn's anguish. 

All I want is to smell spring flowers.

My pen struggles to breathe,
in this downfall season of death,
yet the ink pours...

rusted with disuse

spiders build cobwebs

Cobwebs in the early morning are a wondrous sight
Displaying their beauty in the scintillating sunlight

Such a delicate trap put on display
To allure a spider’s innocent prey

Drops of dazzling diamante dew
Sparkle on your web so fresh and new

Your weaving talents you had to showcase
With silvery strands...

The moon casts a surreal light
Upon looking out of the window
The night is my mistress
Solitude my blanket
Then I think of you:
The daffodils dancing as they glisten
Your almond eyes,
Serene lips always rest unscathed -
Right every after kiss,
Your silly ponytail.
They speak to me in rhythms
They hush me...

Dust bunnies live under my bed,
And they are starting to mess with my head.
I sweep them away,
But away they won't stay,
They bring along friends instead.

The cobwebs are naughty, too,
But I do what I have to do.
With a broom and a cloth,
I remove signs of sloth,
And...

The inner vision becomes blind
When cobwebs clutter the mind

With every thought of doubt
A new thread weaves about

You can no longer see
The true sight of reality

Your faith begins to slim
You can only see the grim

The self imposed web
Deceives your life ahead

You are in a tangled mess
Full...

Cobwebs On The Rose 

Cobwebs on the rosebush 
strung from thorn to thorn 
Alive with sparkling dewdrops 
reflecting pinkened dawn
Where the stricken insects 
have rended and have torn 
Amid their dying moments see 
another rose is born

Cobwebs And Other Nonessentials

There are things we often tend to forget.
Unimportant though they seem to be.
Clothes in a dryer, not started, still wet.
I'm sure it's happened to you and me.

The gathering of cobwebs in a corner,
And dust left high on the top shelf, 
May make...

Just a vet'ran - Cobwebs turning into dust

       He's a teen out of the 60's - now wrinkled on his brow.
 Did not need to be drafted --  woulda' signed up anyhow
  'Cause He grew up with...

And cobwebs lick her unkempt, soiled dress

Wailing for unborn child of dusk, alone ~

That every barbed gaze slithers, cast down

~ Ripped as pointed hooks nailing the flesh.

I wondered about midnight, with the

click-click

of my tongue standing straight up in between my teeth, my hair fell to places that were
begging for his fingertips, for the smooth warmth that occurs when he kisses my skin...


I laughed at moments we shattered, because destruction is amusing...

I’m preparing for this Halloween 
But the cobwebs I refuse to clean 
My spiders donations
Give some palpitations
Yet I find them rich in protein

Dedicated to my Billy-bro

Do you still search mirrors, looking for me?
Do you now look outward–in to where you were,
    but have never really been?
Like a stubborn cobweb, you dust my tired mind
   and pool my older tears as my feelings...
