While I am working on some longer pieces of writing, I wanted to share a couple of poems that were written in response to poetry I have previously posted. Jeff and Ellen both write great blogs that I read regularly, please check them out!
Original Poem:
Early morning run
Silken strands cling to my cheeks
Frantic spider check
Response– Jeff Cann- The Other Stuff.
As a trail runner,
I know this feeling quite well.
Spiders creep me out.
Original Poem:
There once was a keen bat
As blind as a door mat
He used his ears
To bring prey to tears
Never leaving his belly flat
Response– Ellen- Ellen’s Blog
Ellen’s Response:
There once was a poet named Strange
who showed a remarkable range
and despite some reproaches
for her display of roaches
We hope that she never will change!!!!
I like your spider haiku a lot! Silken threads works perfectly, and the “turn” (surprise) is great.

I’m really losing it lately! Silken strands … that’s what works so well — and the alliteration, not there with merely threads, is perfect.
