Got bit on the right ankle by a brown recluse spider, also known as the fiddle back. I hate spiders...especially THEM!


Poem Artwork

beware the fiddler.
a spider with attitude
and venomous bite.

disturbed by human,
it delivers a quick strike
not just once, but twice!

two perfect bulls-eyes
scored by tiny terrorist
trying to escape.

war has been declared!
human now in misery
from nasty spider.

ankle targeted.
if that dang spider is found,
he'll be history!!

beware, the fiddler.
a spider with attitude
and venomous bite.

(C) Copy written, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

Oh, my! I had to read this when I saw the title. Spiders are everywhere in my part of NJ. I'm always checking before I squash to see if it's a brown recluse or black widow. Certain spiders I just toss back to nature.

And my cousin down home in New Orleans shares your misery; she was bitten by a recluse while cleaning out her linen closet. I'm not really afraid of them, but my son, 13, would run from the pic with the poem.

As John B., Jr. said, the recluse bite is a nasty one. Hope your recovery has gone well. Hey, at least the bugger sparked your creative flow. LOL

I think you'd better move to a country that has no venomous spiders !!

Hope you get better soon.

Hate to see anyone hurt, but the spider was just defending itself, I don't like them myself and would want to squish it too, but again, it doesn't know you were not going to hurt it, I hope it does not give you much pain, we have spiders too, but just like Ohio, not many large ones, I would freak if I were bitten by something large enough to pick up...feel better, Ed & rufuz

Ouch sorry to hear this, hope you feel better soon.

One bit me on my right thigh, made a perfect circle, that just got deeper.

Woner why I turned down a ten year contract in a state that has, killer spiders, snakes, tornados, guns. (and the giant armadillo)

Hope you splat Brownie soon, or send Ed a leg at a time ransom, so he can warn all his insect friends not to hurt you. EVER

Hope you feel better soon, Karla.

And if you do find my pet spider, Brownie, pleas send him home. I miss him so. (He really didn't mean to bite you. Honest.)

Excellent senryu Karla!Their bite can kill. I helped
care for a patient bit by a brown spider,was in the
hospital 40 days,she didn't make it.I was devastated
she was only 38, had two children. Never knew it could
be that bad. She waited too long to go to Doctor, infection
got a hold. (12 years ago)
