Rude Awakening

Sleep at night Dreamworld's kite Morning light Open eyes, OH what a sight ! Brown Recluse delight On my hand, next to nose, face turned white ! Big brown spider clinging tight Jump from bed with all might Primal life or death fight Heart pounding flight Rude awakening fright Lucky no bite Spiders crawling on me while asleep not right ! 2/26/17 An Unwanted Guest poetry contest

NO WIN?? DANG!!! (I think it was judged, right?) Let me know, Bruce, if I am missing any great poems of yours. I am thinking I may have seen them all.

Hey, Bruce, great minds think alike. I did a bug too. Not quite posted yet. Soon! Love your spider poem. Isn't Twilight the vampire book written by the youth from Utah? My daughter loved all the set.
