Spiders

 

 

She's a master in her craft
Spinning a web of deception
Never let's any one get by
A sticky mess she has spun

Patience is her game
As she waits in the dark dampness
Effortlessly she captures her man
Then has him as a snack

OMGF... This reminds me of my oldie but a goodie poem on Spiders and being a prey toward man. Wow, I'm floored...Great poem and the wording you used Helen. I love spiders and the intricaticy of their webs they spin so thoughtfully! I do hope you have a chance to check my poetry sometime... and the spider poem - long and unique- is 1/2 way down... Don't remember the name, it's been months! I like your writing style alot, On to another of yours! Warm HuGs! *She*

Certainly this describes the spider but it also can apply to certain people (which I believe is your intent here), Helen. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Regis

This is a very good write with insight into spiders. I'll tell you after having moved to Mexico; living there six months now, WOW have I come to appreciate spiders more but those nasty scorpions have got to go!:O)

Helen, I am terrified of spiders, but also am spellbound by them. They scare me to no end, but they are remarkable in nature.
