There is a story to what is coming next. This morning I watched spiders having flies for breakfast while I was shooting droplets on leaves and spider’s nets. That gave me the idea to write this.
Generous droplets rest on nets, disguised as pearls
Is nature imitating human’s life?
Framing attractive water nets, dew-playing planets in the Milky Way
Twisting, embracing the prey, as an unfaithful lover giving it away – the spider’s gift.
I joined Writing 201: Poetry.
Today’s assignment is a poem about a gift (or gifts). Using a special form — the acrostic; and the device is the simile.
Wow! this is a wonderful way of using the prompt. 🙂

I can see you’re enjoying this challenge, Lucile. I love that second photo and I really like the color of the leaves behind the web. Most of the webs I spot in the park have brown/tan/similar colors. This is so bright and beautiful.

Lucille, I dont think I have ever seen such clarity in water droplets! These images are wonderful.
The backdrop of the red makes the water standout even more.

Hi Hugh, great to see you here. And thanks for the lovely comment and encouragement. I’m venturing in an area which I am definitely not comfortable with, so I only know for sure that I’ll keep shooting….not sure about poetry!

I’ve had a go at writing poetry but I still struggle with it. To me, writing poetry is like listening to an Opera. Keep at it because you just never know. 🙂
LikeLike
I can relate to the struggle. It’s day 3 and when I read today’s briefing, I chuckled. Rhymes, prose, sounds so romantic and sweet, all that i can’t see myself doing. I’m also realizing that English not being my mother tongue, does t help much.
Well, as they say in my mother tongue, ‘if you go outside when is raining, dance in the rain’. So I will give it a try.

What a wonderful saying! I love it! “if you go outside when it’s raining, dance in the rain”! Is that an idiom in Brazilian Portugeuse or Dutch?

It’s Brazilian Portuguese but the translation is not done literally because it doesn’t make much sense. So I modified a bit! 😉
