Hello Wild Walk #writers

Today's prompt isn't wild, but still beautifully natural. From my neighbor's garden
Where will I fit the haiku?

Little friend spin a story. Delight me with plot threads fine, embellish with patterned wonderment, for me to divine and scry.

Spider weaves a Web
Intrigue woven in silk strands
Magical assured.

To save others from reading my shite

I'll bring using big words next like onomatopoeia, alliteration and marmalade to describe writing... well maybe not marmalade but, uou know, it's a big word.

I just have a children's illustrated dictionary and thesaurus... in fact I can't even spell the word poetry.

Nah. You're a good poet. I'm just a word juggler. I don't even know what I'm doing... I just pretend...

Every now and again I like to challenge myself, to prove I can write certain things or poetry in different ways.

It's easy when you just break it into bits.

Had a think over my Yorkshire pronunciation of beautiful

And it's more Be Ute I Full than. Bute I full.

So... still 575 if you go by pronunciation but also half asleep or i'd go by received pronunciation.

Donโ€™t trust moonlightโ€™s glowโ€”
though ancient, the moon still floats
clueless in the dark.

I'll get the plunger and try to suck it out of your ear!! you'll be fine.. trust me I'm not a doctor and have only been medically trained to look after those with psychiatric illnesses.

hmm not the most comforting of statements

A patient artist,
Spider's tapestry woven,
Silent precision.
