spider web




its not often in fact almost never that I feel inspired to write a poem but the other day looking at spiderwebs bedewed ( if that is a word spellchecker says no its not), I was inspired


mist and dew have revealed

the secret presence of a hundred spiders

does the fear and loathing of arachnophobia briefly give way

to appreciation of God's silversmiths?

Dave,
I found your work through About.com Painting forum (you were giving advice about painting grass). Both your photos and paintings are very fine work and I hope to attain a level of quality like that. I also photograph and would like to paint. I think the two reinforce each other.
Cheers, Bernard Carlisle

By the way, the poetry is pretty good, too.
