It's almost Halloween, and spooky spiders come to mind.
I'm somewhat fascinated with spiders and their webs, and I wish I could make something so beautiful overnight. Just look at these webs.

I once found one of these webs with the zigzag pattern just outside a window. I took my entire class of 4-year-olds to see it, even though the window happened to be in the men's bathroom at our church. (Funny, I don't remember how I saw it there. Weird.) Anyway, the spider itself is cool, but the zigzags add another point of interest and mystery.
I wrote this short poem to a spider web photo posted at Margaret Simon's blog. Thanks, Margaret!
That moment when...
Around a corner
You snare my face
Such sticky lace
A maze in place
Around a corner
