Why?

I saw a spider on the wall
and watched as it began to crawl
towards a fly upon the wall.
I simply had to wonder why
that silly insect did not fly.
For the spider he had spied.
He just stayed there then he died

      Thanks.

      Yes, I usually do write with rhythm and rhyme. I not only like it but it comes naturally to me. When I try to write without rhyming I often struggle not to rhyme. I'm sorry I couldn't join you to chat about this. Maybe we could do it some other time. I would enjoy that.

    Alluring thoughts..You definitely got to frame this one Brian..An epitome of war on the wall between the silly spider sly and the flying fly..I guess its becoming more inevitable that I praise and you get flattered..I am at times not a good critique, what say??

      I say that I'm flattered.

      Knowing the that it was not meant as anything more than an honest compliment. As I have taken all your comments to be. I believe that all critiques are good. I believe that your opinions rate top notch even if you come across one that you must tell me is a stink weed. I do have a few. To be honest this happened upon the ceiling but that didn't seem to be quite as appealing.
