Seduced By September

August finally

closes door

spindly legs

crawl across floor,

 

with no camouflage

to cover his tracks

this waste ground

full of dangerous threats,

 

as sun casts light

on window near,

weaving rays

on fine gossamer,

 

then beady eyes gaze

desire's lingering,

chance to procreate

his life declining,

 

no plan of action

hanging in space,

September's arrival

searching for a mate.

Lovely to watch spiders, and their beautiful, skilful webs! We see them so much more at this time of year don't we, and dew on the webs. Can make a lot of work clearing in the home though - I don't notice them, but my husband walks into the webs as he's taller! Rhiannon

Thank you for reading Rhiannon. Yes you're right about the webs. Every time I go to hang the washing out I have to be careful this time of the year, I'm constantly walking into them in the garden.

I loved the cheeky smile on this image so much it inspired me to write this poem. I could just imagine the funny character getting all excited to find a mate.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Jenny.
