Author's Note: Here is my attempt at a free verse poem on spiders. It's not worth an entire author's note about it and I am not looking for feedback on it. Happy Halloween!
Yesterday
Today
Everyday, I spin my web
I have lost track of the days
The weeks
The months
But my web continues to grow
It grows stronger
It grows larger
And I know my purpose will be fulfilled
I sit in the center and wait
I wait for long minutes
Long hours
Long nights
For a snack
A tasty snack?
Any snack
I've been hungry for a while
A fly!
It buzzes
It flies closer
I wait silently
No breathing
No blinking
The fly is trapped and I move
I spin
I suck
My purpose fulfilled, I must start spinning again
HALLOWEEN! I think that your poem was very good (and worth and Author's Note). I like your word choice and how you describe what's happening in phrases and words.
