Counterclockwise

Now webs return to orb-weavers

as time flows backwards to spiders
while bloodshot eyes see failed reasons
throughout passing pear-shaped fell seasons
and unintentional rhymes written on strange whims

which move calenders back-flowed to less bastard springtime

interesting, original and so creative. I like the image of time flowing backwards to spiders and returning webs . much like a fast rewind .
