About this Product
SPIDER WEBS I - 12 Poetry of Nature cards with envelopes, two of each:
Ski Slope, Fallen Fence, Drop Tree, Balance, Spiral, Spider Hammock
Playful, meditative, and a little bit Zen, these dew covered spider webs come with many stories. From a Yin Yang balance, to a stunning reflective spray, to a water drop hammock, each image offers a glimpse into the sentience of nature. Every card has a "poem" on the back. The poems for the cards, left to right, top to bottom, are below. The insides of the cards are blank.
Ski Slope
"Brilliant sunshine on this frosty day, get ready to soar, sail away, up so high we're in the sky, adventure waits, and time is nigh."
Fallen Fence
“At the edge of the bracken this fallen fence sags, dew covered upon the ground. a pretty reminder of times now gone, you once were strong but now you yawn.”
Drop Tree
"You walk past me every day, yet here I am on full display. It's hard to see me, this is true, but when you look, it's worth the view."
Balance
"What is up and what is down? It could be either, you're so round. Above is below and below is within, your such a tease, where to begin?"
Spiral
“A collage of shapes and drops you are, across the sky you scatter. I wonder as I stop and stare, how a perfect spiral could grace the air.”
Spider Hammock
"Little spider I envy you, you have a hammock made of dew! I wish I too, could lounge and rest suspended in a water drop nest."
*Boxed sets come with a surprise 13th card, mimicking a "baker's Dozen"
A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING
I would suggest choosing Media Mail in the shipping choices. It doesn't take too long to get, and is much more economical. :)

The Poetry of Nature
Meet the Maker
Hello! Welcome to my shop. My name is Katharine Emlen and I am the writer / photographer behind The Poetry of Nature.
Nothing brings me greater joy than being outside in this beautiful world of ours. Nature, I find, provides the most wonderful canvas, no matter where you look. I have seen tremendous beauty in dying leaves, personalities hanging out in ditches, and remarkable compositions in the most unlikely of places.
Sometimes, I pretend I am an ant, because if I were an ant, those itty-bitty water drops would be pillows to rest upon, that blade of grass a slide, and the dew covered wheat, a jungle gym for play.
I tend to get lost in my imagination and I allow nature be alive...it's not just three drops on a leaf, but a family of travelers, not just a twisted tendril, but a lover's embrace...
When I allow Nature to be sentient, I see all sorts of stories within her. They are the same as ours! Triumph, struggle, comfort, joy....I see it in the twist of a tendril, patterns in ice, the way the water drops sit on the curve of a leaf.
Usually, I stumble upon these stories. And when I do, I hear a poem in my head, so I include it with the image. This is why I call this my work, The Poetry of Nature.
Thank you for stopping by!

How it’s Made
Thank you for visiting my site :)
Boxed sets come in a white "tuck tab" style box. These are great because the lids don't come apart from their bottoms, they stay snug and secure.
On both the front and back of the box is a picture showing what's inside. A quote by Kahlil Gibran is on the inside cover.
"Never forget that the earth delights to feel your bare feet, and the winds long to play with your hair"
Boxed Sets also come with a surprise 13th card, mimicking a "Baker's Dozen"

The poem will be included on a separate sheet of paper, allowing you to choose if it is part of your display. Although "Poetry Posters" are unique options as they pair the image and poem side by side. You can see what this looks like in the photos offered for each image.
