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

Wow, beautiful... looks like strings of pearls..
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeletewow, such lovely jewels you've captured. it reminds me of winter, and for me that's a good thing because I love that season. the poem is the perfect accompaniment. happy week to you kkkkaty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful writing especially coupled with this picture--really lovely
ReplyDeleteYou'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!
ReplyDeleteHank
excellent poetic description of your lovely picture! i wish i can write like this...
ReplyDeleteVery well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWonderful!!! This, "quivers in borrowed sun..." and this, "Engineer of eight legged kind/designs with hunger in mind," love these...great work!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the scene wonderfully !!!
ReplyDeleteAn 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hedge...as you see I emulated your example of form..not such a mongrel beast at all ;_)
ReplyDeleteThese are two solid rhymed stanzas, which capture the industry of the spider very well.
ReplyDelete"Engineer of eight legged kind
ReplyDeletedesigns with hunger in mind"
O, what a fine observation of industry!
(Thank you again for commenting on my blog, too.)

DeleteWell, this image is STUNNING and the words... well, I think YOU could teach the class. :)

Deleteand isn't it a masterpiece of engineering...i love cobwebs..i'm in awe of their fragility and stability and when they're hung with dew...it's just magic...smiles...loved this...
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find the photo of a stained glass looking one...thanks!
