Speaks for itself...


The Spider

There is a spider outside my door

At first he was quite small

But on a diet of beetles, flies

And mosquitos

He has grown quite large

4 times now, he has torn down

His very own web

Only to build another

Nearby

Each one has become more

Intricate, Enchating, and

Amazing

And I thought to myself..

Isn't this what life is all about?

Trying again..trying your best to

To grow up, strike out

And never settle for less?

He may be a pest to some..

But to me..he is a teacher

Bet that spiders all grown up,
As you kept it well fed.
Trading day by day,
On the world wide web.

It is entertaining to read. I like the lesson it teaches. A metaphor of its kind. I believe you're quire right.

"Isn't this what life is all about?

Trying again..trying your best to

To grow up, strike out

And never settle for less?"

Great job!

When you stop learning, you stop growing.
Well done.

As you yourself said; it speaks for itself.

Reminds me of the time I released such an emminent teacher into the jungles of my mother's pot plants. That very same teacher managed to make such a glorious web, that I got all glassy eyed when my mum shrieking like the proverbial banshee, relieved the teacher of her misery and cleaned out her glittery, amazing cobweb.

A metaphore in itself?
