Forty thousands species
\n380 million years
\nMesmerizingly fascinating
\nGlobal citizens too One hears
\nTruly master craftsman
\nArchitects in fact
\nWith a logicality
\nOn how we should react<\/p>\n
A tendency to frighten
\nUnfairly thought of they
\nTake a lot of criticism
\nAll along the way
\nBut contrary to the belief
\nThey are harbingers of fear
\nInfact they are the genius
\nThat happens to be near<\/p>\n
Miraculous body proteins
\nBeyond mans testimony
\nFrom their unique spinnerets
\nThe finest silk we see
\nFrom so many spigots the liquid
\nThey exude
\n8 kinds really can blow our minds
\nAnd dare I say allude<\/p>\n
Stronger than steel in real terms
\nAnd pratical as well
\nWith wonderful healing qualities
\nThis magic is not from hell
\nIts of the highest order
\nClean webbing heals a treat
\nStops bleeding is a curative
\nAnd is very hard to beat<\/p>\n
From a liquid to a strand of silk
\nWith amazing properties
\nA typical web will be made up
\nOf all 8 types And please
\nThe spider for each type creates
\nThe wondrous web we see
\nWhich only the female can actually weave
\nOr an immature male may be<\/p>\n
Artifical tendons re growing our nerves
\nTissue growth and scaffolding
\nElasticated curves
\nanti fungal qualities
\nAntiseptic too
\nRich in vitamin K you see
\nAnti clotting do
\nAnd will prevent scarring
\nMedicine can see
\nBandages already include
\nSilks actually<\/p>\n
In future if you see the web
\nIts timeless quality
\nMagic in the making
\nIts spell we all can see
\nAnd its perpetuation
\nIs furthered by the art
\nThe unremitting excellence
\nBorn out of the heart<\/p>\n
Watch the aerobatics
\nOn the mirror of your car
\nThe tiny spider manages
\nInfact she is quite the star
\nWith her frail legs and silks
\nShe manages the feat
\nclinging on quite magically
\nAs you drive down the street<\/p>\n
The silk is of a tolerance
\nNo truer potency
\nShe becomes the acrobat
\nHer muscularity
\nMinimal but actually
\nSuch might she does diaplay
\nShe really is compelling
\nFor she is out there everyday<\/p>\n
Invincible and unflagging
\nClearly in the zone
\nSpiders can live anywhere
\nTogether or alone
\nOn mountain slopes
\nIn castles
\nIn jungles far away
\nAnd even on my wing mirror
\nWhatever people say<\/p>\n
Inspired by JUlia Pissano a lady I have never met
\nBut one day I feel I will<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
