dandelion
and drops of glistening dew
caught in the web
*
a red spider
in the late morning dew
munching brunch!
By this time, most of the early spring dandelion flowers had turned into puffballs and long blown away. So when a single dandelion, bright as the morning sun caught my eye, I stopped for a closer look—and then I saw a tiniest spot of red, and then tiny dewdrops caught in the sticky web. I watch the spider flit and scamper across the web, stopping here and there, I imagined, for delectable minuscule morsels of a late morning brunch!
