Where do they come from? Where do they go? Why do they stay there? Like a statue on show. Some can be small Some can be big. Masterful weavers, Hunters and creepers. Some will move slowly Some will move fast. Eight legged creatures With peculiar features. They will all scurry When in a hurry. I'm always wary Coz spiders are scary. Invading my space With beds of white lace. High nervous tension Preparing eviction. Eight beady eyes staring It's eight legs preparing. We're flight or fight ready My legs are like jelly. They give me a fright And some will bite. Love them I don't But harm them I won't. Written 31.08.22

Thank you John. Happy you enjoyed. This is my fourth poem on spiders. For someone who don't like them, I seem to be weirdly drawn to them lol. Emilia : )
