Suzanne Delaney Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Love Letter To a Black Widow

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
