Thanks! Not many enjoy reading about spiders. But they do have their place!
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your rondel is skillfully composed, vividly descriptive, and delightful--conveying an important message for those who automatically think they must destroy spiders' webs!

Thank you for your positive feedback. I know many aren't fond of spiders. I just wanted to try something a little different. Appreciate your dropping by to read and review.

Comment from RodG
The spider is described as an earnest artist working through the night to finish her work. The Speaker, seeing it in the morning, is in awe of her achievement and for once does not tear the web apart. I think your rondel will appeal to readers of all ages. I especially like the refrain. Rod

Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
Beautiful rondel poem, very well done! I just love the way it reads, your repeating lines, your meter, your rhymes and the language you chose. I have also become an admirer of spiders (as long as they're not huge and/or biting ones, which aren't easy to find in NYC anyway, which is where I live). In our apartment buildings can be found flies and other unwanted insects, so these days, spiders are my friends. So are centipedes. (I wouldn't want one in my bed, either; but I would be more likely to remove one than to kill it.) The webs are okay, but really we don't have enough spiders!
I love your words, "blueprint memorized right from the start." Such a wonder of nature, and if you believe it, God's creation! Great image, nice presentation. I found no errors.

This poem has such a nice tone and it is wonderfully written. Just if I am not mistaken there is a small typo it says 'silvery strand throughout rhe night' when I think you wanted to put 'the night'. I love the way your poem creates a perfect image in my mind and makes me think twice about destroying the webs. All in all, a wonderful poem that flows beautiful and makes one think.

I love this treatment of the form. It flowed easily throughout. The image of the spider evokes the web, and your art choice was excellent. the reaction of the poet to the process is memorable
