Connecting Threads
Web spun threads connecting
beings of the net,
where each quiver is felt,
shared.
A swift poison leaves us
willingly paralysed,
torpid and battle-
scarred,
diligently cocooned in
sticky truths wrapped around,
sparing none yet all are
bared.

Humans, spiders, creatures of interlinked intellects.
Thanks for stopping by, turtle.

There's no escaping the truth here, at some point it will catch those who feed on lies... Hector will hunt you down.
Nobody writes like you Atakti, your style is so distinct.
Your words have resonated in my thoughts all morning. Great insight, thanks for sharing Atakti.

Now, Al, you've put me on the spot. I just favor this structure and use it in a lot of my poems. About four, no more than five lines per stanza, and I like using only one or two syllables on the last line sometimes.
That was all I was aware of, but after your question, I went back and counted mostly six, sometimes five syllables in the other lines. Sometimes I use a internal rhyming, but really while I'm writing I just feel my way through it, so those calculations are done subconsciously, I guess.
Thank you for your kind feedback and interesting questions!

Good catch on the title, Mr A.
See my comment above on structure, if you're interested. Are you saying it's difficult to read in this form? Is there something concrete you would change? I'm curious how each reader perceives it, so feedback, as always is appreciated.
Thanks for the words and the care...

A nice little overview of the web (or as I first thought in my sleep deprived state, a commentary on the Syria situation lol)
I'm really starting to love how I can expect a similar structure In a lot o your poems but the content could be anything under the sun, and every piece will written with a type of subtlety, precision and thought behind it that I'm jealous of. Congrats on another fine write tic tac. :)
(P.s is asking what the subject of a poem is cheating or me being just plain dense?)
(P.P.S I love brackets)

Thanks, Dystopian, for your comments!
(The poem is about our interconnectedness, which these days is more immediately about the web. However, it is true on the physical plane as well, so l can see why you thought of Syria, nice interpretation, btw. A lot of people cannot or refuse to see this interconnection, keeping the philosophy 'out of sight out of mind' or even, it's 'over there, far away' so it's not their problem. This is only partly a psychological protection against feeling helplessness, some of it is apathy. Calling it a dragon and claiming it fictional doesn't make it go away... We are all affecting each other, how can we not? Ramble over, closing brackets.)
