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. 🙂
Thank you so much for visiting and for commenting.
Great shots =)
Thank you so much.
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.

Yes, Janet, I’m enjoying so far and I’m surprised about that, because I was a bit fraud I would drop out very fast.
Thanks for your lovely comment. t.

Wow Andy, this is so beautiful! Little tear is saying hello and thank you!
😀
So enjoying your move into poetry 😉
I’m out of my comfort zone so it’s not a real move to poetry but rather an endeavor to learn about it.
That’s what life is all about 😉
So true.
Great pairing of your photos and your poem. The two played nicely together and your words deliver strong images of their own!
Thank you for visiting, Amanda, and for your kind words.
Nice response to the challenge–well done and a combination that compliments each other.
Thank you for supporting my endeavor, Sally. This morning I used my Olympus to catch the spiders’ net.
Absolutely fabulous colours: the subject right on the spot and great lyrics! You really have the knack for poetry my dear 😉
Nilla, you’re ever so generous! Thank you.
🙂
Fantastic images!
Thank you so much!
You will be rocking this course with your stellar photos.
You’re so kind….but I should be focusing on poetry, right? Lol
Thanks!
Probably, and I like your poem too. It’s just that… I love your photos.
Now you are too generous and putting a big smile on my face. Huge thank you!
Xx
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.
I’m posting this comment now so I can go back and drink in more of those beautiful images.
Thank you!
Debbie, thank you very much for the lovely comment. Your nice words made my ‘shooting’ session in the terrace worthwhile. It was very cold and windy, early this morning.
Hope you’re having a good night sleep! Have a wonderful day!
Lucile
Both great photography and great poetry, Lucile. The colour in the photography is amazing.
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!
Cheers!
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. 🙂
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! 😉
Wonderful!!
Thank you! I survived day 2! Not sure how it will develop!
Stunning photography paired with some truly beautiful imagery of the planets – lovely poem xx
Thank you, Hayley! Your generous comment is much appreciated. Xx
You’re welcome 🙂 xx
😀xx
I can only echo everyone else– the photos are stunning and your use of imagery, brilliant. I am glad you are in the course at the same time as I am😊
Thank you so much, Janice. I’m humbled by your comment. Likewise!
😊😊😊
This is a lovely poem, to match your outstanding photo, and the colors, an added loveliness.
I’m really happy you like it. It’s been a new (and difficult) experience. Making photos is far easier than writing poems!
Thank you!
I loved your inspiration for the poem.
Thank you for reading it, Elizabeth. Much appreciated.
Beautiful shots; and a really neat way to fulfil the writing brief!
Thank you, Su. I’m happier with the shots than my poetry endeavors! Lol
🙂 I think, certainly given the constraints (acrostic and similie) that it worked really well.
Thank you, Su. This is more than I could afford! Lol
Brilliant. Love this.
Thank you!
This is beautiful and so vivid! Great job!
Thank you so much, Christina.
You are welcome!
Wow, you are good!! Beautiful poetry to go with beautiful photos! Major talent, Lucile!
Terri, I know where to go if I ever get discouraged!! You’re an ego booster! Thank you. This is tough and am struggling.
It is genuinely good stuff, Lucile. I am terrible with poetry. Looking forward to more of yours 🙂
Thanks again, Terri. You’re a sweetheart.
What an amazing pictures! The colour and sharpness is great. You’ve been using macro lens?
Guilty as charged! 😉 Bond gurl on a mission! Thank you!
And congrats for being featured on Mundane Mondays!
Is it 100mm macro?
Congratulations to you too. Image boot camp is an awesome initiative.
It’s a 60mm equivalent to 120mm. Aperture 2:8. I use a Olympus mirrorless.
Thanks. It was cool!
How’s the book sale developing?
Alright. Must be a great lens.
Book sales are going slow 😀
Well I am yet to hear feedback from you 🙂
It’s a fabulous lens.
Hang in there, it’s just the beginning.
I read it the moment I bought it. Shall I leave a review on Amazon? What do you prefer?
I liked it a lot.
Yea, i’m looking forward to more of the amazing captures.
Yes, amazon review sounds good. Anyway it is up to you to decide, as you are the one who writes the review 🙂
Great! Ok I’ll do.
Okay 🙂
Truly beautiful… bith, words and pics… Sending you all my best wishes!. Aquileana 😀
Hello Aquileana, thanks for dropping by and for the lovely comment.
All my best to you!
