Our host ask us to write a haibun about little creatures...
weavers
there was that late summer it must have been
that I was inclined to honor the silks they spun
from the silver maple to the ground
the tether threads several feet long -
when daily in the morning before the dew had dried
I would in leisurely comfort stride
to gather some of the black and red raspberries
in an attempt to gather enough to make some jam -
that I would carefully look so as not to break
that carefully crafted food catcher of those arachnids
even with their legs spread were no bigger than my
pinky fingernail - were they the offspring of that
on large spider who took refuge in the spare trash bin
that stood upright mouth agape under the house eave?
scurry hide quick
the giant is coming, now!
thought the spiderling
