This is a nice poetic desciption of spider webs. If spiders eat their webs then the move than how do we have cob webs?

Keep writing

You have a point there. But, it is a fact that spiders do actually eat their own webs. Perhaps when they are evicted they don't have time? lol! Thank you so much, Dragonpoet, for you lovely review. :) Sandra xx

I guess that when you are killed you don't have time to move your house. You're welcome.

For a creature with such a small mind, a spider can certainly create an intricate work of art which also is their home and grocery store. Amazing but I don't like them in my house~Debbie

Neither do I, Debbie! LOL, they are alright outside, and even then, as far away from me as possible. But they do make lovely webs, and they do keep the spiders down. Thank you, my friend, for taking the time to read and review this one. :) Sandra

I've never liked them, Linda, they have always given me the creeps. It was when I wrote my ABC animal and insects book, that I appreciated a spiders worth. If they can keep the flies down, they can't be all bad and I will be a fan of theirs, BUT they must stay OUTSIDE and not come inside my house!!! That cobweb? I hate the feel of then sticking on my face, that big one would send me into a loony bin! Thanks, my dear lovely friend, your reviews always leave me smiling and warm inside. Love you too!! xsx Sandra

Hey Sandra
I have been getting so caught up in your fiction, I almost forgot your way with poetry. Your simplistic style is so easy to read. It's just fun to read your stuff.

I see there is a contest to honor you--it's about time.

A colorful and clever Acrostic poem about the spider and its web. It is deftly arranged upon the words - Spuder Webs. Not only Acrostic, it has coupled rhyming, and iambic tetrameter (except for line 1). A delightful little piece. Job well done!

Thank you so much, Tom. I couldn't get the first line in iambic tetrameter, it didn't matter how many times I changed the line. In the end I stayed with the flow as it seemed to work well enough. I'm so pleased you liked it, my friend. Thank you. :) Sandra xxx

This poem is well done in every way. The acrostic sometimes makes one reach too far for meaning. This one did not. Each letter made sense and the content and word pictures flowed well. The thymes were good and the meter just right. Good job, one of my favorites from many I have read from this challenge.

-Very good acrostic with excellent meter and rhyme.
-That is quite an accomplishment!
-I like the font color for the first word.
-I don't care for spiders, either, but I know they are useful.
-I never knew they ate their webs-Ugh!
-Two very small things in the first and last line of first stanza:
* spiders should be either singular or plural possessive
* comma after "insects".
-Glad I am getting notice about poems, too:)

Thank you so much, my friend. I have corrected 'spider's' and put the comma in. Those little dots catch me out so many times! LOL. I'm so pleased you liked my poem. Big hugs! xsx Sandra

You are very welcome. The little things often escape our notice:) I did like the poem.

This is a very fine poem
Would have been a great entry for an acrostic contest
With excellent rhyming pairs and very good meter
Clever presentation like dew drop prisms lighting up
the first letters of the acrostic
An acrostic poem spun like a spider web
strong and true, with silver threaded words
Very well done, my friend

Congratulations on All Time Best! I love acrostic poems. Your presentation was perfect. The subject...er, I hate spiders too. Only because they are faster than me. Still, they do have a place in the eco system. Oz has the most dangerous spiders in the World! Thanks for sharing Mrs seagull.
