Poetry Prompts - 2. Tanka #2

The cat-faced spider

Weaves strands of silk each morning

Vigilant, patient

Waiting for the rich reward

That seems to elude us all

Thank you for reading.

i don't "do" critters with more than 4 legs & usually there is a scream. 😱

however, Sir, Your spider is portrayed as human, waiting patiently for the payoff. much as we do.

thanks for sharing this

 

I definitely see similarities with the spider's determination and my own resolve. Nature can be a reflection of ourselves. But I also marvel how the spider persists on weaving a new web every day. I don't know if that's determination or foolishness.

 

Thanks for reading, molls.

Especially when the brass ring is attached to a boy. Hehe. I get stuck between productiveness and not reaping the rewards, and that is something I'm working on.

 

Thanks for stopping by to read this.  

Rings can be attached in a number of ways. They can mean a lot, they are great symbols and reminders of ownership, love, duty, and remembrance.  Of course there are other rings too...as you say, hehe. Nice poem, freaky spider!  Yet, fascinating also.
