Spider Tickles

There's something about spiders that don't agree with me
Though I understand their importance in nature's society
A wishful thought, I like to imagine, I have with them
Is to maintain a distance in our zone shared realm

But seems some like to crawl around and over me
Each time when it happens, I'm flailing wildly
Every little tickle feels me with horror and dread
Wondering if it's a spider I fear yet still respect

One was on my shoulder that appeared from nowhere
A teenager of its species if to guess an age that's fair
How and why they get on me is a mystery to me
I'm sure that ninja spider is teaching them with glee 

When I was sleeping, one walked along my arm
Gauged it in the darkness then flicked it off without harm
I heard it land on something a short distance away 
I felt brave and removed it when I saw it next day

Outside or inside, they always find a way on me
Maybe I should feel honoured not just feel unlucky
Not one has ever bitten me, they just give me a fright
I will never harm one, no matter their size or height

But wish they would stop giving such a scary surprise
With space all around them they have freedom paradise
Nature is my passion and respect all that lives within
But these spiders will steer me to drink a double gin.

Lindsay Laurie January 25, 2021 at 5:13 PM Hello Emilia … I guess I’m one of the few people who enjoy a spider’s company. We have a huntsman here that live inside and are quite big but harmless - thank you Emilia - Lindsay

Tom Cunningham January 23, 2021 at 6:54 AM I know many shriek when they see them, they don't bother me and I always catch them and put them outside. A thing I don't understand is how some of those big ones get in the house. Tom Emilia James January 23, 2021 at 3:21 PM I think their like mice can get through any small gaps. Had one in my porch once, was big as a tarantula, that one I had to get someone else to remove and was then released into one of the fields. Emilia : )

J. Summers January 22, 2021 at 1:43 PM Liked the poem. Fortunately I learned to identify some of the poisonous ones the others I try to leave unbothered. Cute picture! John Emilia James January 23, 2021 at 3:15 PM Thank you J. I think the false widow spider is the most venomous spider in the UK. I leave them unbothered they just bother me lol, Emilia : )
