September Spiders

September Spiders

The plankton of the land
Grass, tree and flower pollen
Gluttonous feeding frenzy 
Hunger long forgotten

Grown fat from gorging 
On plump, ripe, rich insects
The summer's bounty consumed 
No remorse, no regrets

Spinning silk words
Without alcoholic lubrication 
Traveling without a passport 
Yet somehow, abroad on vacation

Glistening in the moonlight 
Wallowing in the webs we have spun
Ignorance is bliss...
Aware, yet not concerned 
For the harsh winter spells death
And is certain to come

Ah, mate I love spiders, I have some fantastic photos of my garden diadem spiders from my garden. That said mate you might like to Google Spiders on drugs and see what comes up.
Great write

Ha ha thank you Nigel. I think I have seen spiders trying to spin webs while high before. I think it was on YouTube. 

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Glad you like this one - Syd
