Great use of the nonet! And such a gorgeous picture you paint
with compelling imagery. I applaud your excellent enjambment
and line brake, that reads smoothly (something so many nonets
stumble at)

Very nicely done :-)

A very well-written Nonet poem. The spider spins his web in the corner to catch insects for his dinner. Good luck with the contest.

Enjoyed the inclusion of alliteration -- especially the phrase "a creepy crawley creature" that's the most positive words I'm encountered to describe a spider.

This is a very clever and creative poem. This is the best Nonet poem that I've read yet. The picture really makes for a great presentation. This is a great entry. Best of luck in the contest.

This could be a fine entry for the contest
but I count the five syllables line:
"spinning and creating" as six syllables
and will be disqualified
Otherwise, the nonet is fine with good imagery
and use of alliteration
Excellent picture to match
Good luck in the contest

Nicely crafted write with good alliteration and imagery. I love seeing the dew covered webs in the morning. Thank you for sharing and best wishes for the contest.
Bless you

I like this nonet because:
(1) of your characterization of the spider. First we see him as a creepy creature scampering to his corner of the garden. Then we perceive him as an intricate artist whose work is superb.
(2) Your imagery is so graphic
(3) the amusing use of alliteration
