Thanks for this lovely short poem. There is so much in so few words, even less than the 5-7-5 style. The final image is perfect.... after all a spider is not really a bug so it "hangs by a thread" as to whether it will fin in the collection of your young scientist.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
The last line is very creative using the clever phrase of hangs by a thread! The double meaning of a spider hanging by its silken thread and the colloquialism of hanging by your last thread is a marvelous aha moment!
The poor spider! I feel for its life being in such a predicament!
Thanks, Gyspy for illuminating a wonderful form of Japanese poetry.

Definitely a great haiku, Gypsy. This was totally not what I was expecting - hanging by a thread was truly awesome. The picture was amazing and your words were rather ominous. Very well done, greatly enjoyed. Blessed be n hugs!

I love the way your satori highlights the kid as a dangerous predator, rather than a careful observer. Thank you very much for sharing this fine modern haiku. Kate xx

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Kids love the play with bugs, watching their behaviour and being in charge of their lives, it is the power they have over a life and the bugs are at their mercy, a fine Haiku, love Dolly x

You always write the most interesting poetry. Your poems are short and to the point. I love the spider in the picture you attached to the writing. I look forward to your next poem. Keep writing and I will keep reading.

Gypsy, I like your excellent play on words.
Your photo is great too.
You have fourteen syllables instead of 13, though. Gypsy, just a suggestion:
If you lose the word "kid" and leave just "scientist" your poem would be just as effective. Entomologists always look for bugs.
Good luck with all your writing, Gypsy.
ð??? Blessings,
Cindy
