The Toiling Spider co-authored with ericcoliu

The spider eats all kinds of insects and then spins her web. When she exudes her filament, she has no idea about where the wind will carry it; but once it is attached to something, her web will be formed. If she has good luck, her web will be formed on a tree twig. When the sun shines upon it, her thin filaments will be sparkling with the colors of a rainbow. If by chance there are dewdrops upon her web, it will appear more splendid and dazzling. If she has no luck, her web won't last for a while. But once it is broken, she will retreat until she finds another opportunity to spin a better one. Whether her web is broken or remains whole, she can only leave it to Mother Nature.


Out of herself
launching forth filaments
ever spinning and mending them

An interesting and thoughtful haibun.

A toiling spider is a "noiseless patient spider," which is the title of Walt Whitman’s poem.

I think you can leave out the last sentence, of which the main theme is articulated in the embedded haiku.

Yes, keep spinning your threads be it sunny or rainy day, you'll be there.

I second Eric's comment on the last sentence.

Well done.

I've revised my haibun and made it more succinct.

Interesting thoughts about spider and oneself.

I still think too much description about the spider and the situation.
