Spider (Photo credit: sez9)

After wind and rain

Spider eats his wet, torn web

then just spins anew.

  Thank you Willow! (I think this spider is more of a Bigsy wigsy 😀 )

Betty, I LOVE the message (we must keep building anew, not give up)–and nearly ran from the photo! Much love to you–Caddo SOS

  Caddo, sorry the spider gave you a start. It would me too, if it came up on my screen unexpectedly. Glad you like the analogy – never give up, never give up! 🙂

Yes, agree withCaddo Veil (your haiku #9) that this is a good message,
but I would prefer French Fries…

Wonderful metaphor, Betty! Brilliantly woven in the intricate but simple web of a Haiku 🙂

  Thank you, Angela. (Afraid I spend too much time watching spiders spin webs – it fascinates me. 🙂 )

Wonderful message and haiku, Betty…the photo doesn’t bother me now, since I’ve grown out of my arachnophobia (not completely, but mostly)! 🙂

  Same here, Lauren – I’m not so jumpy at the sight of a spider anymore – as long as it’s outside. And not crawling on me – Augh!!!)

    I am very behind on post reading too, Betty, so please don’t apologize. (Just received the edit of my novel from my editor/publisher and am in the throes of revising, etc…plus on vacation from the day job this week!)
