A Halloween Nonet

a spider the size of a small cat 
came crawling round the curbside bend 
wondering what he could eat 
worms ? snails ? frogs? lizards ? bats? 
perhaps even cat 
Trick or treat mate 
your squashed, 
Bye !

Yep--not always wise to announce one's presence. I remember shortly after coming to Arizona, having gotten a job as Bar-back in a western bar out in the desert. Getting some wine out of an outdoor storeroom, I spied a huge black striped spider on the floor, larger than my hand. I thought, what fool put a rubber spider on the floor. Then it moved. Started walking. Great Halloween poem. Thank you for sharing.
