Silvery Web of Deceit

Tiny onyx spiders spin their webs,
Deceit filled little strings that shine;
Encasing, surrounding all that is mine.

Silvery intricate patterns are spun;
Delicately entwining destructive lies,
Catching luring, petite fluttering flies.

Complicated twists unravel the truth;
Tighter, silvery strings are woven together,
Ensnaring honesty, hurt now weathered.

Spinning until destructive plans show;
Emotions crawling with astounding shock,
Intricate webs distort, a trust does lock.

What a great title .. you certainly spun your own tale in this finely created poem ..

'Complicated twists unravel the truth;
Tighter, silvery strings are woven together,
Ensnaring honesty, hurt now weathered.'

That's so near the mark yet you've turned the emotion behind it into quite lovely phrases. I love to look at spiders' webs - can sit looking for ages (and yes, I do have a life!), and each time I see how intricately they turn out i realise just how incredible those little creatures are .. imagine if men could spin webs!

That phrase 'web of lies' becomes something different with your very clever, yet lovely poem.

I thought it was well put together with a good theme. Lies can be as destructive as any spider deceiving its prey. The very last line seemed a little forced to me. ( a trust does lock?) Other then that, a fine poem.

This was a perfect write I am not sure I can add more here as far as a review. Your detail shows the calculated actions of the spider to execute its destructive plan on unsuspected victims. Perfect indeed.

Spidey sensed illiteration here. Your word choice is so excellent to use the "t" sound over and over to give it a tingly feel. Perfectly done in the third stanza. Great work.

[The Analog Kid]

This is a well-constructed poem. Spinning a web is just like spinning a lie in a web of deceit!

[Antonio Valentino]

Lies are the worse aren't they?

Great poem here about one of the weaknesses about humanity.

Well done.

This had a strange and surreal feel to it. Onyx spiders is a great visual. Great depiction of the depths that little fibs can reach. Nice job.
