I Spy Spiders

(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.

Beccy.

Thank you Beccy. I do have a fascination for spider webs. Incredibly beautiful especially when beaded with dew and gleaming in sunlight.

Flows and rhymes effortlessly. You make this rhyming lark seem so easy when in fact as we all know it aint.

All good here on this beautiful September day. I seem to be the only one in my household who actually likes spiders. Everyone else runs a mile, and screams as well.

Children's poems! What delights! And this one is a keeper! Well spun!

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you emipoemi. I must admit I am quite fond of Trevor myself.

Does he by any chance know Charlotte? xp

[Chris Shaw]

Is Charlotte your daughter?

[Chris Shaw]

Ah you mean Charlotte's Web!!!

[emipoemi]

.....Good save, Chris! You had me worried there. I was honestly stunned that a matriarch of two generations that I believe you are wouldn't have heard of that most renowned children's book.

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