Love Letter Courting a Black Widow Spider I do admire your knitting skills The sight of your cobweb fills me with thrills Your hourglass figure glowing red has never gripped my heart with dread The sight of you a passion rare instills So I could never believe, as I view fresh kills that the day we wed, I’ll be next day’s meals

Ha ha Deb: I like them to keep their distance especially the venemous kind of which Australia mostly has. Good to see you today. SuZ

Refreshing to once again read the rhymes you so deftly weave my friend. Wonderful personification (or arachnidification?). I love it.

Great to see you, Annie. It always warms my heart when two former About .com poets visit on the same page.

HaHa! A good one! She's one spider I don't like. Well, actually, I don't want any of them around. :)

Ha ha Thanks Ann: In Australia there was a saying when people had outdoor water closets. “Always check under the toilet seat.”
