Tonight's Poet Corner: Twenty-Five Spiders
Twenty-Five Spiders by Belinda Roddie Twenty-five spiders spun webs out of steel using soft silk for their axles and wheels and when all was done you could see that they'd strung all their patterns in the shape of an automobile Twenty-five spiders had labored all night while the moon was still full and the stars were still bright all their legs tied in knots bodies gleaming with spots just so their toil and trouble could shine in the light Twenty-five spiders formed assembly lines making bones out of fluff and elastic spines In their brand new sedans they started a new brand and sped off down their roads built from cobwebs and twine
