Queen

Queen of the garden, Queen of the morn
Shining, resplendent, glossy and bright
Motionless, regal, tiara adorned
With glittering diamonds, gifts of the night

Centered in symmetry, spun in the dark
Hanging like platinum threads in the air
Sunlight refracts into thousands of sparks
Where dewdrops bejewel her diaphanous lair.

I like spiders and love their webs! 🐙

Nicely done Dan 👍👏

@crowncottage Mmmm, lovely to look at, but it's THAT time of year!!! - I've had soooo many 'close shaves' with walking into them face first!!! 😳😲😱😱😱😱. Brrrrrrrr!!! 😱😱😷😷😷 @VikingHorn Lovely btw 😊😊👍

@MrsS yes, me too! 😝😹😹

@MrsS That's why they're best early in the morning, gleaming with dew! You can see them then.

@VikingHorn 👍👍 Note to self: don't try gardening during the middle of the day, whilst distracted by calamitous young children! 👍😉😂

@MrsS No, that's ok, you just have to deputized the children for the vitally important position of "spider guards" and send them screaming down the rows ahead of you with sticks.

@VikingHorn Great idea, I'll bear it in mind!!
