The Guardian of Starlight

very vivid. ***

I remember MPG. An interesting venue. I like the roll call of dark creatures here - bloodworm to spider. Sharp. Also, the possible readings of thread in the closing lines. Good writing.

the "involuntary spider" is the most intriguing pair of words I've read today.

"The Involuntary Spider" would make a good title for a book of poetry. *

This reminds me of Ecc. 12, the sense of slow melancholy.

Enjoyed.

Like this very much.*

Extreme imagism.

the enigma grows.

Thanks for your read and comments, R.K., Sam, Gita, Jake, Letitia, Amanda, Gary, and Renée.

"here comes
the involuntary spider
with the emerald web
around his throat"

on my way to your house right now with mushrooms.

Bill, thank you for this beautiful reminder of where poetry comes from.

Thanks, Bud and Darryl!
