Spiderweb



Spiderweb - Kay Ryan 

From other
angles the
fibers look
fragile, but
not from the
spider’s, always
hauling coarse
ropes, hitching
lines to the
best posts
possible. It’s
heavy work
everyplace,
fighting sag,
winching up
give. It
isn’t ever
delicate
to live.

  2. Good morning Siobhán: I love this poem. I am a book artist and have created a tunnel book of spider webs (I can send you a pic if you would like). Would it be possible for me to use your poem in my book of webs. I will give you full credit. If it is okay with you, would you send me the name you would like me to cite and the date the poem was created. It looks as if you have a blog, i would be happy to include a url---please send any text you would like me to use in my acknowledgment of your poem. If there is a copyright, please let me know, and I will not reproduce your poem. Thank you for your consideration. Please send a note of confirmation to my email address: pastepaperpress@gmsil.com.
