I have changed the last word umpteen times, from 'thrill' to 'kill' and back again.

Weave a web of wonder

Like jewels in the rain,

Look but never ever touch

Observe its sweet refrain.

Fragile spins the spider

A deathly lure in guise

As prey is snaired in innocence

And never more, it flies.

A spiders web is tangled

Unravel, if you will,

But as in life, entrapment,

Will so often . . . thrill.

As each word throws the poem into a different connotation and I honestly don't know which is my first choice...I seemed to have both concepts simultaniously (althought they are in conflict) I like both equally, and not simply for rhyming convenience....mnnnn, difficult.

Opinions welcome......Zy
