My Nightmare
It inched its way along the wall,
It was not big but it was not small.
I sprayed up high to make it fall,
When I looked it wasn’t there at all.
Was that a web in front of my eyes?
Is it having a fit before it dies?
It’s smothering me, I’ll soon be dead,
My only dread is its sticky thread.
It’s in my hair, get out of there,
I’ll soon be dragged into its lair.
From my horror I now awaken,
Stressed and sweating and badly shaken
Still in my bed,
Oh my poor head.

I squish em, redbacks around our house are so common. We don't get the East Coast Funnelwebs down here in SA, but we get their non venomous cousins, which are bigger, but I aint game to test the theory on that LOL...I put the Huntsmans outside usually, but I tell yah, we are getting very short of spiders now, seems the ecology is taking it's toll.
Snakes alive here too, specially the brownies, this odd weather is bring them rotten things out premature..I will have to write a tale about how our cat got into an altercation with a King brownie and lived...
Ooops off topic here, sorry mate.
They say that dreams about spiders is supposed to signify our insecurities, and I dunno if there's any truth to that, but they make your flesh crawl, and that's enuff to make anyone insecure bout their surrounds LOL.
Thanks for this gem, now I shall go sweep all the webs off the front of the house, again!!
Love to yah
Ch'erie
PS our Weather is totally Crackers here.
Being arachniphobic myself, I got creeped out when I read this one. *BRRRR* *cringecringecringe* There's nothing worse than the feeling of a spider crawlin' on your arm or ESPECIALLY walkin' into their web face first in the dark! GAD! Give me the heebie-jeebies! Excellent portrayal of the fear of spiders; you have captured it brilliantly and effectively!
From one spider-'fraider to another,
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :(
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Don't y'all have funnelwebs in Australia?? JAYS--
A friend of my just today was bitten by a spider
she was in severe pain and had a swollen elbow
I tried my best to make her go to the doctor
But some women are just too stubborn.
Peace be with you
Love
William
