dew drops on a web
tremble in the morning breeze
a soggy spider.

It makes sense that the spider would be drenched from the dew. A beautiful haiku.

You good with visual!
I wonder if you also see two alike images here; L1 and L3, web and spider. I think that the word web isn't necessary there, and without it, L3 would come with a strong a ha (awareness). Just my thought
Nicely done

That's something I never thought of when a spiders web is wet with dew, it stands to reason they'd get wet.
This is a lovely haiku.

Dear Diana,
I often wonder when I see a web bejeweled with drops of dew or rain, how the spider can make its way without getting wet feet. Then I am led to wonder whether much research has been done into this, by which university and on what funding. Is there any Society scholarship or grant to cover such a research? This is just another of nature's mysteries to add to the total sum of human ignorance.
Thankyou for sharing this thought-provoking haiku and good luckl in the contest.
Applause, love and hugs, XXX Hugh.

It must be a sign of impending seasonal warning for a spider I'd think. If only mankind was more aware of the signs nature provides. Haikus rarely carry such impact for me. Lovely as they are in the moment. But this one has made me look deeper for meaning.
