Getting a Bad Rap

If I weren’t afraid, 
I’d probably like spiders.
Instead of panicking around them 

I could admire their true beauty,
intricate and complicated web designs 
and they catch and eat their prey 
suspended in air in such a clever way 
is something to behold. 

Some spiders are large, tiny  
black, white, grey, or brown 
and some have hairy legs and bodies 
and some bite, I know.

Yes being such amazing creatures 
like I said, if I weren’t afraid,
I'd probably like spiders.
