Black Widow--Trochee

Black Widow We made love in the arbour And loft--out of sight, Then three times at the harbour As the day turned night. Let's go into the parlour In the candle light, There's no more time for ardour. I'm ready to--Bite! ©Deborah Burch 5/08/2012 Trochee a/b/a/b 7/5/7/5 *Note: the black widow spider is known for killing and eating her male counterpart after she has exhausted him from all the 'love making'--mating.
