Nature is amazing, and the more we find out about the various qualities of each part, the more we should be humbled. Your poem expresses this beautifully - and I do love the image! Best wishes for the contest.

I like the artwork you choose to go with your poem, they are a perfect match.
You captured my attention from the first word to the last.
This is an interesting poem to read. This is what I call a food for thought poem.
Thank you for sharing.

A good Rondel poem. Your format is correct and follows a story encouraging the reader to go a little deeper for your intent. I read this a couple of times and each time, the content seemed to be just a bit different each time I read it. Good luck. xoxo Kiwi

It's an interesting title for the Rondel, drawing the reader in to read on and explore the reality of the 'web of life' and how 'fragile' it is yet 'strong' at the same time

Oh yes, dear annonymus poet...I have admired, just look at the spirit's net and I have admired their trade, and the secret of those intrinsic lines of life. I admire your words and your sentiments.

The picture is amazing and the last stanza leaves space for hope and repentance: "
If warming of temps is allowed to prolong,
the holes in the web won't mend or heal.
Perhaps if we show some respect and kneel,
we will not be hearing our planet's swan song.
The web of life is fragile, yet strong" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.
