Don't worry, spiders

I love the whimsey and content of this poem. Wd love to meet the author. Grandma Mattie

I love the fact that Issa's poem captures the idea that even the smallest of us should be treated with compassion, in this case Issa ensuring the spider's comfort as a result of his lax housekeeping skills. I've recently started reading the haikus of Issa and Basho and have been astounded at their simple yet deep messages. A great haiku :)
