Delicate is the silk
that takes shape
under the careful
manipulation
of its skillful creator.
Strong
is the trap
that tricks
its prey under
the disguise
of something
magical.
Clever is the
creature
that uses its glands
to weave a
meticulous
masterpiece
that is
beautiful,
but
deadly.
beautiful and deadly?
that’s part of life, well done .Happy Rally.
