“But nobody pointed out that the web itself is a miracle.”
–E B White, “Charlotte’s Web”
how the sun
multiplies dewdrops
hovering
on nearly
invisible threads tiny
iridescent pearls
scattered on
paths that cross woven
in waves that
whisper with
the breeze leaving sparkling trails
like a fairy’s wand
releasing
the magic of stars
to the light
connecting
sheltering enabling this
miraculous life
Today for Day 6 the NapoWriMo prompt says: Go to a book you love. Find a short line that strikes you. Make that line the title of your poem. Write a poem inspired by the line. Then, after you’ve finished, change the title completely. I chose “Charlotte’s Web” which has many many good lines to choose from.
Another shadorma chain, with art from the archives.

Miraculous and never failing to amaze us, when we take the time to stop and look 😊

Yes, we just need to take the time. Easier said than done sometimes.

Insightful observation, exquisitely captured in just the right form for doing so. Reminds me to keep my eyes open for the smallest of miracles, something too many of us fail to do these days. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Ron. We all need to be reminded I think. Just to pay attention to the world.

This is beautiful, Kerfe. I particularly love the first few lines. And as Ron say, “thank for the reminder.” Charlotte’s Web is a wonderful choice for the prompt.

You are so skillful with this form. The lines never feel constrained. And the diamond web sparkle is gorgeous.

admire where you took the book quote with such imagination -the opening lines invite the reader in:
“how the sun
multiplies dewdrops”
the poem and art so complementary
