Day 15--National Poetry Month--Tyburn Poem--Spiders--Free Verse--Connecting




So this is a Tyburn poem. Like a baby, it's difficult to birth but fun to have out in the world. If you'd like to try this challenging form, go here for information about it.




 Spider
Weaving
Biting
Spinning 
Jumping
Thousands of young, weaving, biting, flick
Land on your face, spinning, jumping, sick

Until I got Stephanie's new poem form, this one was my place holder:


Beep.
Ba-beep.
Two robots 
Passing, busy
Unaware 
Each in its own sphere
Perform   tasks without   thought
oNo          need to interact,          ooo
ooo                  Or question                   ooo
Or c                   onsider feeli                  ings
Will              they ever find a            way 
Or a reason 
To come
Toge    ther
Bef      ore
Rust    claims
Their      tiny
   Metal        motors?
