Pythagoras or Failing Geometry



I'm spinning webs
Proudly, but for a different reason
Not beautiful, but necessary
I do long for the day
When they hang true and dewy, again
A photographers eye, catching, clicking

"Look at this," she shouts

Handfuls gather and smile
Wishing they could step lightly
Be a part
Daring not breathe
Or we all fall
Starting over is like saying I'm sorry
I am spinning webs and this ones for you

  4. Spin away - it often isn't the perfection that makes them stunning - it's the way the light shines through them :)

  6. Ha, my tablet and autocorrect, grrrrr. I love the Web you spin here and it looks dewy enough to me. Love your closing lines a lot.

  7. Oh I do love the title, but also the sense of being hunter and maybe hunted.

  9. It may take a failing geometry to sight the order inside brokenness--that that pattern or web is truly meant and important for what we write next. How else do we step outside our habitual ways of seeing? Great to read you here again.

  10. Look at this! Whose poem is this?! At first glance, does not appear to be Corey's, but... oh yes, there you are. Love it totally. Absolutely perfect title. Yay!

    You always spin a fine web, friend.

    A time frame of absence endured, may create an impression of missing out on some common joys! It is great that you are back!

  13. I am so glad to see your work show up in the garden. Saying I am sorry can be such a fragile thread, but the heart threads of sincerity can build a strong web.

  15. I hope you and yours had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and are having a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. May we display your header on our new site directory? As it is now, the site title (linked back to its home page) is listed, and we think displaying the header will attract more attention. In any event, we hope you will come by and see what is going on at SiteHoundSniffs.com.
