Artful.
Dawn's light today uncurtained Autumn
as more than just berry-laden.
Hedgerows, tho' treasure-festooned saw
an overnight transformation.
Thinnest of jewel-plates, silver-lace doilies
dithered in lofty profusion.
From twig to overhung leaves like tin-foil
they glittered, fast held by dew.
Pearl-strung, breath-taking mats of finely
strong wire-webbed engineering.
Criss-crossed gossamers so craftily timed
by arachnid's masterful feat.
Dangling traps, sun-caught and floating
in cunning anticipation.
Firm-as-steel structures, sticky coated
each unique woven creation.
Spidery expert-precision took diamanté
last night and oozed distraction.
Death-designed nets of intricate lattice
a visitor's wings quickly wraps.
Shimmering dazzle captures those who
attract eye's wait with futile gyrations.
Few escape guiles of predator- allure
as hunger's action flies cannot estimate.
Savage the end of enmeshed movement
by unwise entry to artful webbed beauty.

Lovely write Fay.
Amazing descriptive words of yet another poetic masterpiece Fay. I love it. ; )
Beautiful write Fay, love the "silver lace doilies".
As an engineer, I tip my hat to the talent of the spider. Nice tribute to their creative works, Fay.
So many people are afraid of spiders. I just hope that your beautiful poem takes some of that fear away. They (the spiders) and your poem are awesome!
An awesomely descriptive poet ! Well done
