Gold cherry

Gaze through gossamer of

spider's web, other worlds

that appear beyond veil

most mysterious and

nebulous.

 

Hazy amorphous place just

out of reach, living beside

us, surrounding our world.

 

But when night comes

on Eve of All Hallows,

concealed in dark of

night...

 

do we feel when truly

believing? That there's

more in this world than

what we are seeing.

There certainly is more to this world than we are seeing Jenny. I think that everytime I'm in the garden and a cobweb I hadn't noticed sticks to my face.

Cobwebs and spiders are wonderful things though, so whenever I spot a really good web with a big and active spider lurking, I can watch it for ages.

And I loved your poem.

Good evening Turlough, I know what you mean about watching spiders creating their webs. We get lots in our garden too. Some of the webs are so intricate, it's amazing to watch.

I'm glad you loved this poem and thank you so much for letting me know.

Jenny. smiley

Being so small and fragile but building huge intricate yet resilient structures seemingly out of thin air, spiders make me think of super intelligent aliens, of things we don't, cannot understand. As you say, "more to this world than what we are seeing". This is a lovely Halloween poem, not scary but showing magic is in the everyday

A perfectly formed tribute to Halloween, Jenny. There sure is so much more to this world than both what we are seeing and the ghostly gouls of our own imaginations. No doubt there is a whole lot we don't know even about spiders.
