A Spider City

I created a spider city By letting spiders spin their webs Outside my second-floor window In the shade of dusk to dawn light. There are different web sizes From the smallest to biggest ones From small huts in city outskirts To big castle of a queen's court. One can match one spider's web size With its power and belly size. These spiders span their webs with pride: A hung city well organized. Several times, their city was torn By pouring rains and windy storms Just like Katrina, Maria Left behind towns and beaches torn. Resiliently, they rebuilt By spinning their webs night and day. I've not seen a web-less spider They span their webs with all they had. They chose the best place for their webs: Every night, when night light turned on These spiders were ready to feast As their nets trapped many insects. I watch them behind window glass: They await, they feast and they dance. Every night is their party time A spider city of night life! 10/04/2018 NHIEN NGUYEN MD
