SILVER COBWEB It glistened magnificently under the brilliant sun; resembling the enigmatic and mystical angel, It shimmered majestically under the fluorescent beams of moon; looking like the swirling waves of sea eventually culminating into froth, It wavered rampantly with the gusty breeze; occasionally snapping apart some of its flocculent threads, It nonchalantly greeted the inclement rain; thoroughly despising fat globules of water striking against its flimsy silhouette, It trapped scores of innocuous insects in its viscous womb; a plethora of young fledglings who tried to permeate its territory, It was firmly riveted to bifurcated branches of rustic trees; enmeshing a host of boisterous termites who dared try and butcher it, It had boundless strands of silk; interwoven at incongruous distances of space, Its beauty appeared all the more accentuated at ephemeral dawn; with hazy rays of light marking its incoherently rotund periphery, It feasted and supremely relished a meal of blood sucking bat; which inadvertently got ensnared flying haphazardly in the night, It was embossed with tinges of dull gray; with its color appearing almost invisible to the unsuspecting intruder, It also inhabited residential dwellings; a cluster of cloistered places and dilapidated mansions being its hot favorite, It got mercilessly blown away in thunderous storms; who dismantled it from its very roots without the slightest of respite, It was wholesomely silky in complexion; with its long follicles partially engulfed by poisonous juices, It looked ominous in the ambience of open space; and yet at the same time was a treat to admire for the scientist and philanderer, It was profoundly oblivious to sound; the only thing it relied on being nimble sensations of touch, It itself didn’t posses the slightest of odor; the only scent that wafted from its demeanor was that of incarcerated prey, It was a dreadful nuisance for housewives; who didn’t spare it the moment they sighted it; swapping it uncouthly with their tall broomsticks, It was virtually found inhabiting all corners of the globe; not sparing the even the most immaculate of corner, And the most incredulous thing about it was that it impregnated a potbellied spider; which was ever ready to unsparingly gobble any palpable organism that got caught, Which hereby concludes the story of the network of satiny threads which formed the silver cobweb.
