Along Came a Spider Contest

A tree spider sat waiting
in the hollow of a trunk
in ambush for her prey
by stealth she would eat

no web just camouflage
patiently she waits
along came a lizard
she pounces on it

Darting with her sting
which starts dissolving
the flesh of her prey
she happily sups

Spiders I would also rather leave alone, I suppose as poets if we can thrill or chill its a half decent poem Shadow x smiles
