Spiders weave strings of time
between then and there
Tonight, dangle as dream
Zip up and down
crocheting the fabric of seem
Tonight, enter scream

In reality, Elongate Long-Jawed Orb Weavers are not at all dangerous. People who turn their backs on the environment (and who vote for those that do) are what is extremely dangerous.

Love the picture and the “reality.”
Very true…those that are voting against that which sustains us is truly frightening and dangerous.
Yes, WJ, there’s a lot of real ignorance out there… and it is deadly dangerous!
Thanks, Cigarman, and yes, there are a lot of really dangerous people out there.
I love your poem and photo 🙂
Thanks much, Scifi! Give LM a Halloween hug from us! 🙂
Will do thank you 🙂
Great image and poem to go with it.
Thank you, Denise! 🙂
Fantastic photograph Tom. I love it 👍
Thanks much, Andy! 🙂 From an evergreen tree in our backyard!
You are right that these people are more dangerous than spiders, Thomas. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
Way more dangerous, Mitza, way more dangerous!
Wishing your week is magical! 🙂
“Crocheting the fabric of seem” is wonderful. It seems that a lot of seams are unraveling in our civic fabric — we need some very industrious orb weavers to get us back on track!
Yes, it’s a very sad situation that we are in, Linda; we need miracle-weavers but there just aren’t any of the kind needed (so far). There’s a jumble in the jungle… while most think things are just fine.
These are great words and a great close-up of what looks like a Daddy Long Legs, but I don’t think they are web-spinners are they Tom?
Yes, Linda, Daddy Long Legs are not web-spinners; they are not even spiders; they are considered Harvestmen (and have different segments than spiders do). The spider pictured is definitely a web-weaver and rarely comes onto the ground. 🙂
I thought I had read or heard that in the past – I really wish I could embrace spiders like you Tom … but this arachnophobia cannot be tamed!
🙂 There are no spiders in the northern states that are harmful to human beings.
Looks very astonishing
Thanks much, TJ! These spiders are very elongated and are excellent web-weavers! 🙂
Excellent verse and afterword.
Nice photo… and poem.
Maybe we can call the liars “long-jawed orbicular weavers!”
