Want To Try It Out? – haiku by Dennis Lange

—
The spider
To the insects said,
“Waterslide!”

The photo is mine, taken of a funnel spider’s
web in my front yard, covered with dew.

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.

Three Miscellaneous Haiku by Dennis Lange

Mirrored

Who knew that
The blue sky reflects
Like water?

——————–

Spun In An Instant

Spider web.
Perhaps it will catch
A glass fly.

——————–

Three

Sun, sailboat
Are slipping away –
Life, as well.

Finished And Framed – haiku by Dennis Lange

Finished And Framed

Dew drops strung;
Little perfect pearls
Kissed by light.

—

But hidden,
The spider jeweler.
Artisan.

Through Thick And Thin by Dennis Lange

…….Through Thick And Thin

(the poem is about my granddaughter,
                  now almost 3.) 

I called her scratchings spider webs,
…The first one brought to me.
She calls her scratchings spider webs,
…Now drawn deliberately. 

Sometimes I am her audience;
…I clap and lavish praise
For song or dance or toddler art.
…I’m sunshine on her days. 

Sometimes we partner in the scratch;
…I draw the spider in.
And by web-weaving we are bound,
…One thick in years, one thin. 

I water well this growing plant,
…Protect from sun and storm.
I’m now remaining young at heart
…With her, my magic charm.

An A-wreck-nid

Did driver,
To spin glassy web,
Use his head?

It’s Up 2 You

World’s a mess?
No good people left?
You B 1.
