Original sin ..as in what a web she weaves..

...today I am visiting the imaginary garden with real toads imaginay gardenwithrealtoads


My first time here on this leisurely Sunday, trying my hand at another form of poetry, the quatrain in couplets and rhyme, made up of 4 lines with 5 or 7 word stanzas.  My, I feel like I'm back in school again..relearning things.  I start with this photo taken yesterday in my back yard by the side of my house...





Wet with dew in the morning time
bearing radiant afterglow stirred from deep within
 nature's crocheted doily quivers in borrowed sun
when touched in act of deadly sin


Engineer of eight legged kind
designs with hunger in mind
victims captured without a fight
satiated sleep at evening's twilight

  4. You've captured such a rare and beautiful picture. In your backyard? My goodness, it's a paradise so near. We often wonder of the instincts that drive these 'engineers' on how to secure food! Great write Kathy!

  8. An interesting metaphor, well executed. I also like the borrowed sun line, and the hints of erotica or perhaps just human weakness in deadly sin, and satiated sleep of willing, or at least submissive, victims.

  10. These are two solid rhymed stanzas, which capture the industry of the spider very well.
