Hi Eddy

Astounding imagery. Makes me think of Anansi stories. But knowing your style I’m thinking this is quite terrifyingly murderous in intention.

Great timing,
Tim

Wow!

Apt, yet, packed with great imagery. Indeed, poets are silent weavers in time of creativity.

Nice one!

I really like this

Made me think of Kipling's "Just So Stories." I can see the brown spider just patiently weaving his/her web. Great imagery and use of language.
