Poetry should get to the heart and stay there. And saving those spiders, such a dear poem. I can't imagine having those hairy beasts in my pool, though. Mind boggling.

Love Lux's kind point of view here. I never thought of life rafts for spiders (but then, I don't have a pool either).

I love seeing about the diner. Although we don't get poetry at our favorite one, we do get yummy food! And an uncle and aunt saved many an animal out of their pool. That poem is outrageously kind, right? Thanks for the great entertainment today!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
