I Spy Spiders

I Spy Spiders

A Poem by Chris Shaw
"

(For little ones and adults as well)

"
Clever Trevor spider,
how intricate your web.
You worked on it with diligence
as I slept in my bed.

And in the morning sunlight
on finest silken thread,
shine tiny beaded lanterns
that glint around my head.

Oh creepy, sleepy spider,
I love the trap you've spun.
Suspended from the pergola,
it won't please everyone.

For hark, from out of dreamland,
young Beth's within my sight
and when she sees you hanging there
her screams will waken night.

Lovely from start to finish and it flowed so easily as I read it, the mark of a not just a really well rhymed poem, but also of care taken with the syllable count of each verse, which if not done can make even the simplest of rhymes a tad clunky.

Spider webs are so very beautiful and delicate, a true work of art from mother nature.

Put it down to the heat!! It really is unusually hot for September. That's my excuse!!
