Enmeshed

 

 

Enmeshed.

 

Dawn\'s light today uncurtained Autumn
as more than just berry-laden.
Hedgerows, tho treasure-festooned saw
overnight much skein-transformation.

 

Thinnest of jewel-plates, silver-lace doilies
now dither in lofty profusion.
From twig to overhung leaves like tin-foil
spun-gilt hovers held fast by wet dew.

 

Pearl-strung, breath-taking mats of finely
worked high-wire-engineering.
Criss-crossed gossamers stunningly timed 
by arachnid\'s masterful feats.

 

Dangling traps, sun-caught and floating
with wrought-iron cunning craft.
Firm-as-steel structures uniquely coated
for watching stuck wing\'s final action.

 

Spidery expert-precision took diamanté
last night and spun to distraction.
Death-designed nets of intricate lattice
a visitor\'s struggle quickly wraps.

 

Shimmering dazzle captures those who
attract eyes with futile gyrations.
So few escape guile of predator allure
for a fly cannot estimate such bait.

 

Savage the end to enmeshed movement
by unwise entry to artful webbed beauty.
