The spider was watching Cathy finish her cake.
Thank God, it thought, she hasn't seen me
green me hiding in the green grass, it was grinning.
Why are you so scared of me, Cathy?
do I look ugly, mean, harmful?
once I saw me in a dewdrop
on a blade of grass
the reflection was quite majestic
my eyes were dark as the deep sea
held only peace and no malice.
You too are so cute Cathy
a butterfly in the meadow
on the sky a sparkling rainbow
and how I would have loved
spin my web right there
in the thicket of your hair.
Cathy was singing.
It needed her one glance
to see the spider dance.
Thought to begin the year with a children's poem :)
