Garden Spider

Garden Spider

 

I could not help but intervene

When I freed a grasshopper caught

The garden spider was off the scene

And I liked grasshoppers a lot

 

What he did with his life

 I really cannot say

But I’m sure that he still chews

And oozes tobacco when afraid

 

If snakes could eat all the spiders

That would solve the problem

But there would be hell to pay

With the snakes there in the garden

 

I consulted mother nature

And she let me know her plan

Let the spiders have their grasshoppers

They are eating all our land

      Nature always knows best, it is homo sapiens that is trying to destroy it.

        This was so pleasant to read. It took me back to my childhood. I absolutely adore insects and find them fascinating. Always have! Thanks for that! Great write!

          Thanks Virago! I really appreciate your comment! One of my best high school memories is of an insect collection for freshman biology. I really enjoyed the assignment. One of my classmates went on to get a biology degree with an emphasis in entomology!

            Oh that's cool!! I used to go out collecting caterpillars and observing other insects out in nature in my school years. Now I just don't have time for that! Any way, I can't wait for another poem!!
