Spider:

I am Spider, my dear
If you happen to ask
My eight legs employed in the trickiest task

Repairing and mending those difficult holes
The tears in the fabric of all the best clothes,

Webbing and weaving - baskets and bows
The coats and the hats that your Grandmother sows.

well, sometimes you just have to laugh :)
i'm glad this brought a smile - and i found your piece very relaxing, one of the few i could access to read (couldn't comment till now though).

this post has been taunting me! I love it.

[wytchcroft]

it ended up taunting me too!

oh, this is adorable and very succinct. i didn't really figure you had this in you. :D

believe it or not, i actually have a piece very similar to this one.
here, check out an ode to a spider that i wrote a few months past:

of course, my piece is straight up single-meaning and not really too deep. so perhaps they aren't really too similar and i am just focusing on the shallow. whateva.

[wytchcroft]

extravagant your praise may be - but my ego can hope!

and may i return the compliment, ta for that piece :))

deep is for skippy the dolphin and radioactive waste, ok?

I've seen you about on several of my friends' journals (reginaclarejane, buttrflyscar...) and I thought I'd creep on your page. I love this poem. It's wonderfully clever and to the point!

I'm adding you as a friend.

thank you! :)) *friends back*

i'm afraid you'll find my comments are probably more interesting than my journal, LOL!

[unabridgedone]

You seem like such a charming friend! I believe I shall enjoy you. :)

seriously! wytchie is the best. about a year ago, he single-handedly reunited me with my love for livejournal. And his work has inspired me countless times!

What glorious rhyme -- it simply draws you in! I am envious. :)

[wytchcroft]

thanks - it's just fluff really :))
