Nice image. 
But I have never understood Haiku. I would have said something about "eight legs". The "construction revolutions" is where I get lost. 
But I have never understood Haiku. I would have said something about "eight legs". The "construction revolutions" is where I get lost. I purposly restrict myself to a 5=7=5 haiku format, i.e. a three line poem with five syllables in the first, 7 in the second and five in the third. Rhyming is not required.
In this haiku, "construction revolutions” refers to the fact that as the spider constructs a web, it often does a number of 360 degree revolutions . Here is this haiku using "eight legs” as the 7 syllable line:
spherical body
eight legs twirl in unison
orb weaver spider

Well done! I am happy I found this; it gave me a chance to catch up on your latest posts. I have attempted to combine some of my photos with Haiku with far less satisfactory results. Your photography and clever poetry continues to inspire me. Thank you!
