Pearls of morning dew
adorn lacey webs of silk.
Dream catchers sparkle
glistening with fire
in daybreaks first light.
Night shadows quickly flee
into darkest heart of wood.
Nightmares diminish to fade
carried off, on morning breeze.
Mist of dew departs
once again giving back
spider’s web of life.
Gentle forest creatures stir
from peaceful rest given
under star blanketed night.
All is well under heaven.
Mother Nature smiles.

Lovely poem. Wonderful imagery... I enjoy how the stanza lengthgs reflect the tone of the poem and how it changes as it is read. Very well done.

It would've worked
in my dreamcatcher contest. A nice metaphor of combining nature to the dream world. Well done!

This is beautiful. Love how you portrayed the true beauty of nature, and the closing lines just felt perfect. Best of luck in the contest. I gave this contest a shot as well, but it's up for some stiff competition with pieces like this.

Great Form.
Line numbers of 5, 4, 3, 2, 2 in your stanzas. It was like a cresendo, starting out larger than life, and ending in a peaceful pillow of feathers. Thanks for the read!
Blessed Be~

I've never really thought of a spider web to be like a dream catcher, but have always thought of a dream catcher being like a spider web.
Very peaceful writting, I really wouldn't want a real spiders web for my dream catcher, but you give these creatures almost a less creepy appearance in this sweet poem.
I enjoyed reading it, and won't be looking at the cobwebs in the morning in the same way now.
