Beautiful places; special moments; time for calm and quiet.

Orbweaver by Declan Whitney

Female spiders rise early
Blessed with a strong work ethic
They cast and construct
Spokes splayed to perfection
Spiral silk spinners
Crafting concentric conspiracies
An octopedal arabesque
Danced delicately on the weft
Until finally, a perfect fabric moon
Full of tactile temptation
Awaits the unwary
The casual late day starters
Providing a juicy beetle
Or a crispy fly for dinner
Or failing that
Her mate returning late
