Please critique my latest poem --is it any good or not?

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth

Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth--

Assorted characters of death and blight

Mixed ready to begin the morning right,

Like the ingredients of a witches' broth--

A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,

And dead wings carried like a paper kite.



What had that flower to do with being white,

The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?

What brought the kindred spider to that height,

Then steered the white moth thither in the night?

What but design of darkness to appall?--

If design govern in a thing so small.

Please critique my latest poem --is it any good or not?
I don't think there is anything to critisize! The poem is perfect the way it is. Just be yourself.

Reply:Beautiful! It's great. I love all the similes and metaphors. The last two lines of each stanza were gorgeous. I'm a poetry fan, so I could go on and on for hours complimenting it ^^ You should publish this on poemhunter.com or a site like it. It's much too good to keep to yourself! :D
Reply:I like the imagery of your poem. I'm a bit turned off by the witches' broth part, but you are talking about fictional witches, right?! Lovely poem. *snaps* Kudos for the use of the word "thither."
Reply:ding!
Reply:Excellent work. I like it very much even though I don't like spiders, lol!
Reply:I'm going to try moving a few lines around:

-Mixed ready to begin the morning rite

-A snow-drop spider, a flower like froth

-If design does govern a thing so small.

I like it, it's rather compelling.
