I wasn't being fair because that's a stock photo, not mine. As well, I didn't mean it as an insult to A.Mac, who provided a tastefully neutral background to the poem. I just thought it would be nice to see that particular poem on an actual spider web that survived the rain.
Oh, I am sure you meant it that way, Buzz. I am also sure Mac wouldn't take offense at all. If he had a picture with a spider web that had survived the rain, with rain still showing on it, I am sure he would have used it. I do like his current image, too. I was driving one morning and saw the silken webs hanging off bare tree branches after the rain with the sun filtering through them, but I was in motion and couldn't stop to take a picture. It inspired the poem, anyway.
Some hopes are born … only to be washed away.
Thank you, Mac, for doing the perfect layout and choosing the beautiful and apt image.
Let's weave in some comments.
Looks like all eyes are elsewhere...
Very profound thought. However, I might have used this as a background.
Lovely image, Buzz. I think the poem would look equally great on this one, too.

No question, Buzz; if I had such a picture I'd have used it.
Looks like this collaboration has washed away too.
Hopefully the tide will roll in, Neetu.
Beautiful message!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for visiting, Robert.
Lol, Mac, the tide has rolled in to CA..
Got some cobwebs out in the garage (and a couple too high up on the dining room vaulted ceiling for me to get to) if that'll help?
Randy, can you get your hopes up there, too?
That might keep them safe.
