And the clouds
Bowed
To ocean
Weaving rain
Waves to sky
Kissing veils
Onto mountains
Drenching wet
Speeding by.

In the silvery waters
It reflects
Lovely lines,
Of blue sky
And deep shadows
That so neatly
Align.

Deep in summer
When it bloomed
It held the promise
Of Autumn.

Not Itsy

This is no macro shot
Of a small spider
Up close,
But a photo of one
That is bigger than most.
Sized to barely fit
In the palm of a man,
It clung to a web
That could use
A steadier hand.

Trivia: Giant Golden Orb Weavers (Nephilia Pilipes) are named for the way their intricate webs shimmer in the light. Females can grow to 20 centimeters (8 inches!!) in size and have a long slim, black body with golden spots on their back, and long skinny legs (the males are about 10 times smaller, sorry guys). Female Giant Golden Orb Weavers can build gigantic webs that can span 2 meters (6-7 feet!!) across, often between large trees, where they can be seen resting on their webs and protecting their territory (yep, that’s exactly what the photo we took above depicts). They bite their prey to immobilize it, and though their bite is not dangerous to humans, if you do get bitten by one of these mega-spiders, I cannot guarantee that you will not have LOTR-style nightmares of massive arachnids coming to get you.

Of petaled

A bee hovers
Set to hold
The pollen sought

Sawatdi-kha
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Deep in ocean
She greets you
With palms pressed
In hello,
As you marvel
The glory
Of rocks carved
By time’s flow,
And the riches
Half-hidden
In turquoise waters
Below.
Note: “Sawatdi-kah” is the female form (said by females) of Thai greeting, often along with a “Wai” (a slight bow with palms pressed together).

Transition

Life to hatch
Life to stall
As a change
Transforms all.
While new wings
Rise and fall,
Will it a ‘before’
Recall?

Singular Row
Photo: Amitai Asif
In a row they
Were planted
Born from seed
To grow
Along.
Individual
They heightened,
Each one as
Singular
As a song.

Row Ahead
Photo: Karen Forte
Row ahead
On the water
Toward shores
Yet to tread.
Hold on to
Oars that matter
To kind oaths
You have pledged.
Row abreast
With the others
Who ride forth
On life’s thread.
