Soren, this is a masterful weaving of myth and metaphor. You’ve spun a \"web of words\" that captures the essence of poetry, punishment, and the lingering threads of memory. The way you’ve connected Arachne’s tale to the poet’s craft is brilliant, my friend! Your final stanzas weave vivid designs of memories clinging like cobwebs, once intricate patterns now broken and floating. I resonate with that...a powerfully evocative reflection on the fragility of our past and the stories we tell. Beautifully crafted, my friend. This gets a fave for sure. 🌹👏

Cobwebs cling to me, lingering threads of what used to be
Memories broken pulled away glisten in the light of day
Strands once woven with care, fragments sticky tickle of despair
Pieces of what once was home now floating in air do roam

Wow! Soren, that’s all I can say is WOW. Great wording and writing. I hung there suspended on threads of the web, remembering. Thanks for sharing this great piece of art.

Good write SB. I find Greek mythology stories eccentric, weird, horrific too in places. They are surely only myths. There are some horrible things in some of the stories.

Such beauty in every line, wisdom and knowledge and a lot of reflection, I\'d like to believe in everything you say, as I\'m a pretty good human, spreading love is in my opinion the best way to go. Doesn\'t mean it will help any war but a smile goes a long way. We really should all reach deep to find the empathy and compassion we are all capable of having, those who are simply lost in evil, well they will be the ones to go down the drain in history. 🌹

So true, Soren. Oh to have fresh grown, fresh cooked, real or raw… but there is something so nourishing about something genuine, real, and heartfelt. Wonderfully written piece. Thank you!
