Twisting contorting eternally spinning

Turning cavorting no end or beginning

Patterns created in climbing descending

Fine shining filaments ceaselessly tending

Dewdrops at daybreak each caught and collected

Spectrum of colour in sunlight reflected

Network of beauty

Awaiting its duty

Silk threads enfolding

Clasping and holding

A gift for the creature

Of delicate feature

Who waits at the centre

For those that might enter

Who readily greets them

And steadily eats them
