that cobweb (troiku)

,

the end is near
oh! that hanging cradle –
cobweb

the end is near
live today – like,
no tomorrows

oh! that hanging cradle
gently rocks,
to a heartbeat

cobweb
holding the mind
hostage

        Yes, but I can’t forget that, though often beautiful and alluring, they are death traps 😉

        I try to convince my grandson of this so he won’t be so scared of spiders but it’s still not working.

        I have to agree … in Africa instead of keeping spiders in my house I had a couple of gekko .. cute little blighters – I think they ate spiders and flies and mosquitoes! 😉

        You must write a story or Choka about this some day, if you have not already…if so, reblog it please!
