My
world is
woven from a
desire to create
a special reality.
Silken threads intertwine
and twist in the moisture laden air, all the while I wait
and ponder the divinity
I seek. The darkness
of the swamp engulfs and challenges this veracity. Bottle green
leaves and
vines encircle
my retreat, drawing
wisdom from the primordial
ooze beneath my feet. Patiently I crouch and wait, silent in my
spider’s lair, as gossamer
strands of silken lace play upon her hair. The dankness of the mire,
the stillness of the day,
This I know is my
actuality, my
dominion
I shall
keep.
Whew, this was a tough one today. We were to use an animal, make it a concrete poem (shape poem) and to use enjambment. Thanks for checking in on me.
Wow, that’s amazing, Colleen. How long did it take you to get that done?
A couple of hours! I was holding my breath hoping it would stay! I have now totally lost my mind! <3
But in a very cool way, haha! You are amazing! Wow, I wouldn’t have had the patience. Great!!! Big compliment.
LOL! Thank goodness you did not hear me cussing! This was done after a morning of painting in the master bathroom. I am off now to relax. <3
Haha, you definitely deserve it!!! Thanks for creating this peace of art for us.
Awww thank you Erika. <3
My goodness! Amazing! I find it nearly impossible to write poetry of any kind, imagine that one! Thoroughly impressed! Hats off!
Thanks Olga. My spider does not show up well on my phone but it turned out on my laptop. 💟
My compliments to all of you taking writing 201. It turned out great and the poem is lovely. I’m just sitting back and enjoying so many of my friends’ great poetry! And I like spiders 😉
Thanks Terri. It was quite tedious, but I did like the result. 💟
I love it!
Thanks so much 😀
great job! I do not like spiders, but this poem I enjoyed 🙂
Thank you. I am not fond of them either. 😊
Colleen: This is truly amazing and WAY cool!!
Thanks Kimberly. 💖
Fabulous! I love spiders, and therefore was happy to see you chose the spider for your animal. This is a tough challenge, but you amaze me with your talent and ability to step up each time and produce beautiful poetry in line with the theme. Hugs.
That is so very sweet of you to say that Michelle. Thank you. 💖
I love your poem and I love your spider design! Wow, kudos for creating it…I can imagine the time it took to make…
Tedious, but fun to try. 😊
Colleen, that is so amazing! You are good at that. Have iodine it before?
I did a lantern shape poem before. No this was new. Fun and different.
Love the poetry.
Thank you. 😊
You did well with the challenge Colleen. Well done.
Thank you. This class is quite good. 😊
This is so clever, Colleen. It really brings a spider to mind, and I do love spiders. x:)
Thank you Dorne. Time consuming, but rewarding when all is said and done. 😊
I really like it! When you’re reading the words are drawing you in, making you follow them, like a web.
Wow, thank you. That was what I hoped for. 💖
Most creative and unusual. Well done. 🙂
Thank you greatly. 💖
Your efforts here really come through, Colleen, that is such a creative post…words and image. Bravo. Van
Thank you Van. It is fun to tap into your creativity.
Your creative gifts shine in your spider web. Amazing form. Beautiful words. <3
