Arachnophobia

big bright green spider
on my drivers-side window-
you held me hostage

Poetry notes:

I parked my car and there's a stare down between me and spidey. I didn't know when I opened the door if it would drop inside the car (not good) or outside (preferable). I was only held hostage for 3 or so minutes until I made my move. Success! Both of us walked away from the car in different directions :)
