    That's a little more than two weeks, by my calculations. One more day before the end, my friends.

    Many apologies. That day was a little longer than most, due to Christmas and being busy after the new year.
    Now, it’s time.
    YesNo: Lovely rhyming couplets, and a good description an (ir) rational fear of spiders.
    tailor STATELY : Certainly minimalist. Sorry though, I didn’t get it, probably because of my irrational fear of anagrams.
    Danik 2016: Wonderful musings about the webs we live in.
    …and so…the winner is… predrelemick. His poem identifies the subject clearly in a quick sketch of ideas, containing one repeated phrase ‘too many.’ Congratulations on the win!

    A Real Magic Trick

    Tell my future from my eyes.
    Link me to our all.
    Unconsciousness is a disguise.
    Wipe with truth the fancy lies.
    Lift me from this fall.

    Prestidigitation

    Hands reach
    deceiving the eye
    to steal the heart.

    a magic trick too many

    marvel and delight the sleight of
    hand mind misdirected once more
    fascinated by my uncle's repertoire
    up to when enjoined to pull his finger
