Poetry month

A review:
Human Tales - Thank you! I’m glad you found me in the big sea of things to read! I hope that you’ll continue to follow along, and to like it!

Also, It’s apparently poetry month. Who knew?

So to celebrate, here is one of my favorites:

The Spider’s Web
by: EB White

The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.

And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.

Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.


I also enjoy the following, and return to read them. Often.
PS – These count as the link of the day.
