My Spider Friend and I
Always on Time
Every Night at around 9:00 Eastern Time , I have a few visitors. The are spiders, I don't know what kind they are but they build large webs in the same place every night. In the morning they are gone. If you turn on the porch light, they run away so I can't watch them build their web but I check on them until I go to bed and they are the most beautiful, crafted, individual webs I have ever seen.
I have always been fascinated by Spider Webs. My mother has as well but we have never encountered a spider that looks like this or builds his web only at night, to be gone by dawn. The come in pacts of about three and build adjacent webs from one tree to the next, covering the entire left side of the front yard. I can't even imagine the brain of a spider and what cleverness and patience it takes to build a web. They are aways perfectly symmetrical.
I have absolutely no idea that kind of spider this is so if you know and it is poisonous, please do let me know!
When Darkness Approaches
I sit in patience
alone in the dark
a glmspe of a candle
just beneath my feet
I wait for my friend
as the sky goes to sleep
Soon She appears, she
waste no pricelss time
She begins to weave her web
her pliant legs in a rhyme
creating a silky pattern
methodically in line
making her trap for the victims
that finds a harness in the way
"Welcome to my Spider Web
Why don't you come and stay"
