I really very much like your haiku, Willowsong. The picture alone is astounding! Your satori line is a clever surprise.
I haven't heard Joshua Bell in a while, so I loved listening to him again. Thank you so much for including it.
Take care! Alana

Pretty flowers--reminds one of the summer that once was;
A well-penned poem--interesting how creatures seek shelter/conceal themselves;
For some nature provides the perfect method to shield their small presence from the vast world around them.
Excellent!

Very nicely done. Beautiful colors and certainly a rare shot
to catch a little creature who coordinates so well. You've managed to explain one of Nature's favorite hobbies in so few words. Good luck in the contest.

I got the meaning right off without the explanation and I even found the white spider hiding among the beautiful petals (hidden in plain sight). Thank you for sharing such a wonderful poem.

I'm genuinely pleased that you understood the meaning of the piece w/o the author's notes. In the beginning I was getting a lot of confused reviews so figured I better add something just in case ;) Thank you kindly for the lovely review and generous stars. Peace be with you :)

I've seen plenty of spiders in my time, including lots of cleverly camouflaged ones, but I don't think I've ever seen a purple one!
hidden in plain sight is right~!
Good luck.

That's exactly how I felt about it too when I spied it, lol...I actually had to do some further research to see if that color was common, or if it was a form of albinism. It appears to be common, I've just never encountered it before that moment or since. I'm used to the more common black or brown spiders. Thank you kindly for the lovely review and generous stars. Peace be with you :)

Some of these little creatures can really blend into their environment. I suppose their survival depends on it. This is very well done.

Comment from Patti R.
Nope, can't help you with the type of spider it is, but I have seen them before.
Y'know, I just want to point out that all the embellishments, the video, the photo and the Author notes which are easily 20 times the size of the poem itself, none of that was really necessary. Why not just post the simple poem? 5-7-5 and most other short form poetry is interesting because it is short and sweet, simple but not obvious. You didn't need to explain yourself. Why would you? The poem stands alone just beautifully. My humble thoughts.

I truly appreciate your candor and honesty about my poem. Ironically, originally, all I had posted was the 5-7-5 with the photo. I wanted to make the piece fun, interesting and unique, so thought the little game would add intrigue to it; however, on Friday, I added the notes for clarity b/c I was getting many responses about the flower and not the spider which is what the poem was directed towards and people were not understanding it very well. It added quite some discouragement on my part, so figured the best thing to do would be to explain it a bit to help others understand what I had written. The music was an additional after thought. The musical number popped in my head and I knew it would just really tie it all together nicely. Perhaps you are right and I did go a bit overboard. That's just who I am I suppose...go hard, or go home ;) Nonetheless, I respect your opinion and am flattered that the poem was good enough as a stand alone. Thank you for your feedback and the generous stars. Have a glorious week :)

Thank you for the wonderful feedback and lovely stars. I'm glad the notes came in handy for you. I added them a few days ago due to some misinterpretation of the piece. It seems to have added the clarity I was looking for. Have a glorious week :)
