We haven’t done spiders yet. Share a haiku about spiders, all sorts of bugs and insects, afternoon, sultriness, or one that uses alliteration. Bonus points for “s” alliteration. 😉

May 11 prompt: spiders and spiderwebs
I don’t know what it is about spiders, but I never seem to get tired of writing haiku about them and their webs. Maybe it has a little something to do with the fact that we have so many of them around these parts!

all the baby spiders
scatter
to make a living
