Poem Artwork

Life's roads too many legs
beckon proceed at your own
risk engaging unforgiving love
making for black widows short
lived the ecstasy poisoning her 
beauty suspended in emotional
bliss within entangled vile web

cunning with her deceptive
laughter

Solid the white line not the one
with spaces where a black widow
may dwell spinning her web of silk
deceit for your soul to take

Ever will be black and white manifestations hint of red
taking on meaning warning to
stop literally for your life's
culmination to fruition by
endurance to make it

"The itsy bitsy spider crawled
up the water spout. Down came
the rain, and washed the spider
out. Out came the sun, and dried
up all the rain, and the itsy bitsy
spider went up the spout again."

Beware webs of lust siphoning
away desires as too lovely the
widow will make of your black

(c) Itsy Bitsy Spider

I love that little spider nursery rhyme. Makes for some great hip-hop too. I never knew a black widow I didn't like. But then I never knew a black widow, thank goodness.

Well expressed Vivian. A spider's simplicity and our complexity are not so different.

I sure hope it was worth it for all those little male spiders that got eaten afterwards. Just goes to show how weak men are; note to self; beware of predatory females. Are you mocking our folly, Poetess?

You called this one right, Vivian. Black Widows are a cruel and venomous creature, with the allure to beckon unwary males into her web of deceitful intrigue.
