Spider and the Fly

Comment from nomi338
A classic tale of intrigue, brilliantly told, cleverly sold.
Step into my parlor sad the spider to the fly
The fly said no, no, because if I do then I'm gonna die
The spider said, aw girl, now you know that is just a lie
As the fly lay dying, she said, one of these days, you are gonna get your due
The spder grinned and said, that may be so, but it won't be from you.

Clockwise: amazing poem about the spider and fly.
I like the mystery. Did the spider get eaten or the fly?
I think you're the spider and the fly got twisted up. Clever.
Happy New Year. flylikeaneagle - nancy

I see no need for improvement here. You have created a clever and unique poem. I am cheering for the spider, flies are annoying. You have a smooth flow of words that makes this poem fun to read out loud. I also admire your use of rhyming words.

Excellent. Blends beauty with the fright of the predator and prey. This writer knows how to use creativity in a most unusual and unique way. I enjoyed this poem and the choice of the photo that is matched to it. Good job!

A very clever and creative poem full of twist and turns. I enjoyed the ride.
Excellent presentation, rhyme and alliteration for a fun fable (maybe).
Well done.
Blessings

It sounds to me like the fly returned unknowingly because it was dark and got caught in the mended web. Maybe the fly just thought it was his time to die so he got caught again. I like the shore lines and the every other line rhyme scheme,
Keep writing

That is a gorgeous picture. It's a great advertisement for your poem. I haven't met you before, Clockwise. Nice to meet you.
Wow! This is extraordinary poetry. You write with ease and tell a fascinating story. Your picture choice is brilliant and I was not disappointed when I read your poem. I love your lines and format. It's unique and refreshing. You have fine rhymes that was more than satisfying to a rhyme lover like me. If you write like this all the time, you'll get tired of my reviews lol!!! I'll pester you.
Six stars because this is amazing and I'm in love with your words.

The pleasure of meeting you is mine, Joy. Thank you so much for the six star review. I am honored. Its true, I write with my ear instead of my eye, so I tend toward rythmn and rhyme.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the spider and the fly. Each have a role to play. The spider is higher ranked on the food chain so the fly becomes the prey in the spider's web.

This is a great write-so clever and enthralling. Twists and turns and thoughts that churn. Great question-the spider or the fly? Sometimes hard to tell. Simple elegant and excellent.
