Spider Webs

silvery spider webs are everywhere

Spider webs in diverse places,
Threads of light that are stuck with glue,
Clinging to fences and flowers,
Crystalline in the morning dew.

Hedges beside a dirt pathway,
Are littered with concentric rings,
Spiders sit patiently inside,
Waiting for grasshoppers and things.

In a backyard beneath a swing,
Hang large ringlets of silver thread
Connecting swing to the green grass,
This is a garden spider’s bed.

You don’t have to look very far,
When searching for hidden treasure,
Countless webs of diamond threads
Hang innocently but secure.
