If I were a web id drape out
in the corner of your mind,
a silk canopy
where you could rest your wandering
thoughts.
You would inhabit me, dangle,
tirelessly awaiting your new victim.
You would never eat it though, only watch.
Like a fragment of the past
which would be endlessly endearing,
but nothing you would ever reach for.
Toiling in your
collective thoughts you'd break
me, but only a strand.
Then repair, always repair,
before more damage could be done.
I'd lay endlessly beneath your eight legs,
expanding, always growing.
I'd be the trees of your youth,
which you climbed fondly,
and the branches that broke your falls.
I'd dance continuously,
weaving out your path for life.
I'd be the ground you stood on.
Solid, strong.
Yet obsolete.

Hahahahaha....
Perhaps the most random poem i've ever had entered into one of my contests! But i love the arbitrary quality! It reminds me (topic not style) of a Shel Silverstein poem....
Well done, this one made me smile.
Thanks for entering my contest.
