some spider

Little Miss Muffet

sat on her tuffet...

eating her curds and whey.

 

And who can forget...

 

 

who wouldn't stop

until the job was

finished!

 

"Salutations!"

 

A single word

that has me remembering

Charlotte.

 

Back when I read this

aloud to my boys

I could barely

complete the last

chapter...

I was blubbering like a babe.

 

They looked at me as if

I was insane...

 

(boys!)

 

I remember saying...

but Charlotte died

all alone.

 

And so my love affair grew.

 

Last night as I walked

Mom to her car...

after an unexpected

and lovely visit...

 

I turned back

to go into the house

 

 

when something

caught my eye...

 

Look carefully...

see the web strand

that climbs

to the second story?

 

Let's take a closer look...

 

Another visitor.

 

Some freak out

by these unexpected guests.

 

Not I...

 

I see a pest...

moth...

fly trap!

 

She allowed me to

observe...

and take pictures

as she

created

 her masterpiece.

 

 

A very busy spider

indeed.

 

She circled

and turned as she

made her

spiral

beauty.

 

I would reassure her

with kind

encouraging words...

 

you are amazing...

 

you go girl!

 

thank you for choosing

my home

for your

home.

 

This morning I rushed outside

secretly expecting

a reply

like...

 

Some Woman...

 

or

 

Humble.

 

Sadly...

the web was gone.

 

The long strand to the second story

remains

and I saw my

Charlotte

hiding in the bush

below.

 

Some Spider!
