small upon the wire
extruded with such effort
she swings with the wind
capturing her stability against
the verdent green, once secure
she again launches, like a spelunker
down into the darkness of the bush
only to reappear and leap from leaf to leaf
having constructed her main lines
the little architect, then proceeded
with absolutley no fanfare
but an audience of two,
enthralled by her
bravado and industry,
to fill out the infield of the construct
before setting some fishing lines out
off her main points, to sway in the breeze
she then strolled back into her leafy boudoir,
one presumes to have a well earned nap,
before dinner

my son and i spent over an hour watching a largish spider, spin her web today in our garden....absolutely facsinating
