I wonder why only women are portrayed as spiders. Perhaps it is because it is only the female spider, in many cases, that is the killer, like the black widow. Close-up, some spiders are hideous to behold. That too, may play a part, along with the idea that the wrapped up carcass is reduced to spider food by the poison injected. Yummy!
this web you you've spun of silky feminine seduction captures the imagination in a matrix of intrigue - arachnid or human the parallels are are intriguing - you cab spin one of these poems daily jude and I enjoy each and every one - I wish you love and peace my dear friend - Jon Michael
From her alure and charm to her fatal bite, she never loses focus of her intended goal. I have known many spiders some with two legs and some with eight; both possess many of the same qualities.
Take care,

Spiderette um, sounds to me like you are wanting to get caught up into an erotic web, there are many ways to interpret this one, I love the inuendos and the continued intrigue this poem exudes.
Never get trapped in something you may not be able to handle......... :)~

Ooooo... Pop! This kinda makes me fizz... remember that old poem/image "How Come I'm Not A Goth Girl"? LOL! :)) I love the way you have cute-sified the title, making her an "-ette"; a delicate little minx rather than a Big Bad Mama, perhaps?! This certainly gyrates across my strings right now, but it's probably just the webby threads of all my magazine features drivin me nuts... Makes me wanna go out and crack a few! Reminds me of Jerry's image and poem that I read yesterday, Sybaritic Theme, and it's interesting just how much we absorb as we read and write around this and other forums which then colours our interpretation and thus our comments. "she closes her furious legs" is also an interesting dynamic: "furious" as in playful/selfish denial or "furious" as in spinning around faster and faster to satisfy? The mind boggles... This is indeed an alluring and sticky treat.
My book of poetry is being redone by me, I have a beautiful cover designed and the book will have a few more than 200 poems in it. I am going to have it printed on demand here in Canada. When it is done I will let you know when it is done and if anyo

SPIDER-ETTE ... PERHAPS THE YOUNG OFF-SPRING OF A 'BLACK WIDOW' ?
AND AS A 'TEENAGER ... PERHAPS JUST IN TRAINING ... BEFORE 'MEATING' HER SPOUSE? ...
You know I hate bugs,but leave it to you to give the spider a new look as spiderette;-)
