For 13 Days 13 Shorts this year, I will be posting a short poem inspired by each of the themes.
Spiderwebs
by Omar Najam
It’s heartbreaking to break a spiderweb
You worked so hard on it
Little spider
Every evening
As we’re finishing our day
You are swinging
Ever so carefully
Building a net
To catch your prey
And all through the night
You wait so patiently
Until the morning sun rises
And drew drops cling
Like little gems on your string
And the jewelry becomes steam
And our day begins
And when I break one of your webs
I just feel so terrible
