Crystal Spider Webs: A Monoku
The spider’s web captures a string of dewy pearls
‘Poetry is a fresh morning spider-web telling a story of moonlit hours of weaving and waiting during a night.”— Carl Sandburg
dew-covered webs catching the rays of the sunlight on a fall morning
After an early morning dew, the lawn is covered with silky spider webs. The water droplets thicken the webs and weigh them down so that they are more noticeable. The webs are best seen in the early morning hours before the sun has had time to evaporate the night’s condensation.
A monoku is a type of one-line poem similar to the haiku. The monoku typically consists of seventeen syllables or less in one, single horizontal line.

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
