Cobweb Poem by Paul Butters

Cobweb

Rating: 5.0


The hanging taper dances like a girl
To soft melodic fast and vibrant music;
Trembles with bobbing head
And billows breeze-kissed arches
Of delicate thread:
Lips that swoon for more
With nervous naked quiver;
Licking air like curl-tongued curtains of smoke.

I enjoyed this airy and 'delicate' (word stolen from Flora, but perfectly said) poem. It has a quality to it that floats.

This is beautiful - can't think why it's not been spotted before. I love the patterns cobwebs make in the rain. Lovely penning. HG: -) xx
