Unswept

Unswept

A Poem by Chris Shaw

the stiff bristle brush
of the blue broom
missed the cobwebs clinging
to the outside corner of
the garden shed
leaving them to survive
another day

evening sunlight embraced
each silk thread in a fine display
of rainbow colour
a reminder that everything
has its moment
and nature has a finger tip touch
to golden reveries

Chris we have too grow, thank you.
Love the second stanzas...and there is something special about basements, attics, garages with cobwebs...something grows there, maybe memories, probably memories.
