Like a spider's webGossip waits to catch victims
In it's sticky lair
****************
invisible web
connects hearts, souls, and spirits
entraps those who seek
*******************************
The spider spins her web
full of lies and deceit
drawing her prey in unknowingly
while all the while
she is controlling it's fate and freedom
until it's too late to be freed
and it has no choice but to succumb
to the tangled truths woven about
and the lifetime of lies that surround
but the prey stuggles to escape
back into the saneness and the stability
of its own life
leaving the spider stuck
in the web she has woven of lies and deceit
waiting for her next victim
The subjects of the poems came from interesting places. The gossip one from work, the middle one refers to the internet and how easy it is to get stuck in/on the "web" and the last poem was inspired by a personal situation.

Love what you said about gossip. So darn true.
Hi Patti,
All three are definately thought provoking... and I realized that you wrote them in a way that could be personal to whom ever the reader was, which is what makes it so provoking, you know what I mean?
I so hope your well and everytime I visit I forget to tell you how much I love your winter wall paper. Awesome! And I also forget to tell you we have the same reading list. I loved bird by bird and I also have all of Sarah's collection...and love Berg.

Deception is a false reality imposed on a true reality. It is a fragile and complex weaving of truth, half truths', lies and lies of omission. To successfully deceive another or several people, one must be skilled in the art of deception. To create a deception worthy of belief one must be able to create plausible details that help create the illusion of truth. It is the details that people listen to and remember and the one deceiving is obligated to remember these detail in order to avoid having the lie exposed. The problem with remembering the lies we tell is that all people are basically good and we tend to forget the bad things we've done. In order to successfully perpetuate deception, the liar must be willing to live that lie when necessary. This becomes the tangled web we weave, especially when first we practice to deceive.
