Nature's Spirograph
There is usually an unforced symmetry,
a natural balance in the shape
of dewed and frosty spider webs,
decorating my morning garden.
Sometimes, slightly dished,
they look like radio antennae,
searching the world for signals.
A quest for intelligent life
beyond the arachnid domain?
But occasionally a random mess
makes me wonder.
Is this a dyslexic spider,
sending a garbled message?
Or just a juvenile,
still learning patience.

Hi Gyppo
A spider poem! Muchly enjoyed too, especially the notion of the radio antennae searching for intelligent life.

Hi Gyppo, I enjoyed this spiderweb muse. It explore the intricate and instinctual symmetry of nature while juxtaposing the imperfections. Maybe it's the way we see the imperfections is imperfect! Good stuff.
