Spiders

There are two brown spiders on the wall,
with very long legs standing tall.

One is greatly larger than the other
Perhaps it could be the mother?

But if you look down, near the ground
two more spiders can be found.

Thick and thin legs are what can be seen,
how weird it would be if they were green!

Invisible webs that shine in the light
but don't get close, or else they'll bite!

The darkness of night leaves them cloaked,
they are calm and still, until provoked.

Without a sound and like a ghost,
stationed as a guard at their post.

The spider is a magnificent creature,
this poem is their awesome block-buster feature!

Thanks, I acquired inspiration from one of my classes, where there was a spider one day and then three more appeared out of nowhere and where in different areas of the web.
