This is a wonderfully amusing poem of the spider (arachnid).
You have a great imagination and your abab is excellent. If I can laugh out loud at such a poem, you know it is done very well. Thanks for the lol.

I like Bungy spider. It's very clever and funny. Lots of really good alliteration. I found it easy to read even with the quickening pace you set. I thought it was cool you noticed the web on your car and wrote about it.

this poem is a great one but still being a reader i felt something missing in this poem...though the poem is able to sketch out the feelings of a spider in a poetry form, the words used seem unable to express their original feeling.so, i would love to have some more poems from you with simple but more effective words...in summary i loved this poem and wishing for some more works from the poet.

Hmmm. I happy the web was still relatively in tact. But I see no reference to Bungy-Spider himself (or herself) in your notes. Merely an oversight, no doubt.
Has anyone ever counted AJ Hackett's legs?

Very cute, Steve.

Peace, Lee

    Well, the web was fixed by next morning - but today, I washed the car! Wouldn't put it past the little critter to be a swimmer as well. :o)

What a marvelous great concept in topic and a marvelous story to boot. The way you've written your poem it was easy to assess that inspired her was riding around but I thought, not in a cardboard in a truck. An old tattered truck. Very well penned an easy to read your poems rhymes were done very well in neither of your rhymes were forced, labored or strained. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. You have a good one and God bless.

This was wonderful-true to your particular style of writing! :) My fav line" I'm in strife with the wife cos the web needs repairs ..LOL. this one made me smile, as I pictured an angry arachnid (complete with an apron and a rolling pin in her many feet) glaring at her errant husband. :)

Not surpirised that the web retained its structure despite the long ride- webs are apparently stronger than steel...

Have a great day! :)

Regards,
Namratha

    Thanks, Namratha - loved the image you conjure up of the angry spider housewife - multiple rolling pins! :o)

    Yes, apparently spider silk is such a valuable resource that they have genetically modified goats to produce the protein for it in their milk. Seems spiders are a tad difficult to farm! now that is really bizarre science!

I didn't know that about the bungee sport. Thanks for sharing this interesting fact. Spider webs are amazing. Did you know, that a spider thread is 1/100 the size of a human hair, flexible enough to stretch 30% before breaking and 2-3 times the strength of high quality steel? In fact, it's ten times stronger than Kevlar, used for bulletproof vests.
It's a marvel of creation and well deserving of a beautiful poem.

    Yes I did know about the properties of webs.

    Thanks, Phyllis.

    In this case, just looking around me - I'm not usually that observant.

I really like your poem. It is fun and descriptive. It reads really well will good rhyme. I love your picture choice as it fits perfectly with your poem. When I see a spider and web attached to my car, I have to admit, I hope he will fly off. Funny how they never seem to though. Nice job.
