Mr Spider

There's a spider in the window
as the sunrise I see,
and to the spider I say 'morning!'
as he stares down at me!

He's fixing up his cobwebs
for a catch I've a hunch,
for a tasty little morsel 
he could have for his lunch.

Did you dine well, Mr Spider?
Do you have all you need?
What you caught, was it tasty,
your cobweb, did it succeed?

I'd like to think he's happy
in the window over there,
'cos it's a hard life being a spider, all covered in hair!

Folks run screaming from their kitchens,
they stand on a chair,
but I'm just a little spider don't worry if I'm there.
I won't harm you or hurt you
with a swipe or a bite,
that's my family down under,
'cos with them...
they just might!

Powerful. Powerful Music

Music. 
Powerful music...

Take a few notes,
a whole track.

One instrument,
a whole orchestra!

A single piece of music,
but the same piece of music.

To some,
indifference,
others,
tingles,
goosebumps, 
love excitement passion,
even tears...

Others,
it's like fingernails down a blackboard...

Powerful!

Powerful music!

coin. Look and it's a penny,
don't and it's a pound!

Cobwebs; frozen by
a winters chill; hang like the
rigging of a ship

2021

Amazon sales soar
tier 3 to tier 4
pandemic; Tom Moore.
...2020!

All working online
'zoom' background's devine!
Sales of red wine.
...at home.

The hurt; the despair 
the love and the care,
now someone's not there.
...death toll. 

Keyworkers; NHS
The jab? Say yes!
Hooray! Success! 
...a vaccine! 

Celebrations; no fear!
No parties 'round here
no canapes; nor beer!
...but social distancing.

Test, track and trace,
hands, face, space,
is the vaccine in place?

...2021?

How ignorant we
were, this time last year! Dark clouds
bringing more than rain.
