Cobwebs of the Blue Ridge

Giant spiders of steel haunt the Blue Ridge
And many mountains across the country
Spinning their endless webs of twisted wire.

Across peaks and valleys, they stretch endlessly
Glistening in the sunshine like silver threads
Shimmering with dew drops when it rains

Full of power // deadly currents of life
Some with twenty-five thousand volts.

From dams to cities across the way
These giant colossus spread their webs
Bringing energy and light to the darkest night

Mountain Spiders’ webs already spun…
Woven across the scars of the landscape
Over rocks and hills with a never-ending hum.

Without them life as we know it would cease!

This poem was accepted in the North Carolina Bards Charlotte Anthology of Poetry.  It will come out in May.
