Shadorma 320, Shadorma 321, Shadorma 322

From the poetry collection published in 2021 containing poems written in 2020, The Immediate and No Sooner.

Shadorma 320
9/21/20

three spiders
knit up bleached white yarn –
cobweb lace
high thin clouds
stretch across the dark night sky
lustrous in moonlight

Shadorma 321
9/21/20

Blue inside
this teapot should be –
Pour blue glaze
where hot tea
will one day wait for a cup.
Turn wrist. Pour out. Blue.

Shadorma 322
9/27/20

Frayed cobweb
its spider cast off
to its fate
in autumn
seizes brown leaf by its stem
Ties it. No escape.

    • When I learned to dip glaze I became entranced by the motions your arms and hands do to get the glazed to sweep over the surfaces and I was reminded of swirling tea in a cup or pot, and voila, the poem!

    • Well, you know that spiders are characters in movers and shakers in all kinds of myth and legend and there is a reason for that, I think, they are simply fascinating and with their web spinning abilities, magical, too.
