One lump or two?

Experimental prose

Gentle whistle of a kettle on the stove
Glass mugs gathered from a shelf
Lace cloth draped over a table
Silver shined to perfection
"Welcome to my parlor."
says the spider to the flies
Mandibles twitching in delight
"We shall have some tea."

Sadly, I watch as they all enter.

Like Ken said, we have to watch where we are invited and also, we should think things through before we do them. Lovely and very well written. I enjoyed it very much!

[Rogue]

Thank you. I appreciate you reading. :)

Great experiment for the spider.
Fifty-fifty chance of accepting the invite by the fly.
I appreciate your prosaic adventure.
A great piece indeed.

[Rogue]

Thank you, my friend. I enjoyed your words here. And perhaps it is more a 80/20 percent when sugar is involved. -grin-

[zainul]

You are most welcome.
I appreciate your keen observation.
Have a nice time,dear friend.

[Ken Simm.]

We all have to watch where we are invited. Experimental or no, this is extremely well written.

[Rogue]

Thank you, Ken. This really means a lot coming from you and I appreciate it. :)

and are you wrapped in silk in some high corner of the ceiling? :) great write, I was thinking I'd like to be there until I found out who's parlor it was! :)

[Rogue]

Hahahahaha
Thank you, Mark for both the review and the laugh. :)

I like the unorthodox second half, to me its a little twisted with good symbolic purpose. Very well written, great job :)

[Rogue]

Thank you, Sir. I appreciate your thoughts here. :)

This reminds me of all the times I've been with people I know I shoudn't trust, but always do, but I've learned as I got older not to be a 'Fly'--good poem.

I saw the word spider and was like oh no! Siders and I are not friends, we never will be friends and they a creepy looking creatures.

Ugh, they give me the heebie jeebies! Good write though! :)

A wickedly delightful poem.

I am rooting for the spider. After all, one must eat to survive.

[Rogue]

Ha! You would root for the spider! -grin-
Thank you. :)

Well far be it from me to say no to hospitality

[Rogue]

Hahahahaha
Or little finger sandwiches. :P
Thank you, Tate. :)
