In nets. The Kingdom of the Sun

Hot Bloom was riding in
the chariot to see
The reason of the cold.
She didn’t catch anyone
in her the greatest Crown.
Big spiders then were called.

They strained wide whitish nets
among the thin grass’ stems
to catch a prankish guest.
The spiders worked and worked.
They did annoying job
and hid to have a rest.

Cold Wind went through the fields,
collecting the last leaves
He needed for the glass.
Wind hurried to turn back
to native Snow Queen lands
with petals, which were grabbed.

He made one move and got
in nets. He twitched in toils
to free, but He could not.
The spiders creeped along
to grip the prey by own.
Hot Bloom came with a sword.

Wind tried to free. His cloak
unbuttoned, falling low,
and hid among high grass.
The teaser was in sight.
Hot Bloom had been admired
to catch the prey by chance.
