Notes About The Poem

Lurking

slimy
and ugly
creepy crawlers
you can’t see them
in every crevasse
but
you know
they're there
lurking in the dark

Yes! Exactly! Always when you least expect them to come out. Shivered as I read this one.

If my memory serves me right, we had a creepy crawler maker when I was about ten. I had not thought of this term for many years. Thank you!

Sorry about stirring up that memory - it was probably not your favorite of all time.
