tilting my head
to see the rainbow
in a spider’s web

Great pacing of the poem showing there is not always a need to 'cut' or to go into juxtaposition mode.

A glorious salute to both rainbows and our often unsung heroes, the spiders! Karen names all of her's and is very particular about not disturbing them, as they can get frightened.

Effective use of zoom-in technique, Caroline, as the reader's viewpoint goes from the vastness of the sky down into a spider web. Nice.

Leave it to you to make the presence of a spider appealing. You have no boundaries, Caroline.

PS 'no boundaries'—I hope that's a good thing (smiling)
