A Spiders Web By Mary Bone

 Purple was the color

of an intricate web,

perfectly embroidered.

A talented spider worked all morning

hoping to inject venom

Into a helpless victim.

A child blowing bubbles, saw them captured

Inside the hanging masterpiece.

The colors were vibrant and clung to

the web for a while, dissipating into

a rainbow’s burst.

His mom captured this moment on camera.

The spider had never seen such beauty.




Mary Bone has been writing poetry and short stories since childhood. She has written two books of poetry.

Some of her poems have been published at The Poetry Catalog, Active Muse journal, Lothlorien Poetry Journal and upcoming at Highland Park Poetry and The Academy of the Heart and Mind.
