“Poetry is a fresh morning spider-web telling a story of moonlit hours of weaving and waiting during a night.”

Carl Sandburg

After an early morning dew, the lawn is covered with silky spider webs.

The water droplets thicken the webs and weigh them down so that they are more noticeable.

The webs are best seen in the early morning hours before the sun has had time to evaporate the night’s condensation.

A monoku is a type of one-line poem similar to the haiku. The monoku typically consists of seventeen syllables or less in one, single horizontal line.
