Eye a generic happy go lucky arachnid hoped for a miracle

Eye (a generic happy go lucky arachnid) hope(d) for a miracle

Harken and cue lyrics to All I Need Is a Miracle
Song by Mike + The Mechanics.

Aye, a quizzical hunky-dory
spied re: anomaly doth attest
forsooth to see himself as a mister
re: wordsmith, with whimsical
much about ado about nothing to write,
who hoped for a miracle
within the blink of

Arachnid Encounter

I found a bag outside the door
My mind, alert like a sly fox,
Advised me not to rush because 
It could contain Pandora’s box!

My fingers itched to pull the string
So that the knot I could untie
With expectations quite far-fetched
To find within pie in the sky!

My wife came out, beheld the bag
And curiosity galore
She was unable to

Saved a Soul Saving Myself

Saved a kind soul that was falling
with nothing to lose 
just one abdomen, no sharp fangs 
but huge.

And what's worse 
the carton I called home, 
my dark universe 
upturned 
just a moment ago..

Uprooted now, I went crawling 
trying my best to live
running from certain death 
knowin it may arrive  
wondering why..
always such a test

Weave

A spider carefully plans and schemes
the pattern for its life and quest.
It spends its hours weaving dreams
until it creates its sticky best.

Its web is tatted small and refined
or brocaded in heavy tapestry.
Soon prey finds itself entwined,
entombed within this basketry.

The spider calmly enswathes it,
a gesture quick yet fatal.
To paralyze this tasty tidbit,
its single bite is detrimental.

In the Grass

What’s in the grass and what do I know?
There are creepy and freaky things below.

All sorts of insects and crawly creatures
are among grass’ most fearsome features.

I wonder what else is in the grass,
seeds and stems in a crevasse?

They sprout and spread en masse
creating a soft sinking morass.

I believe there are secrets we’ll never see
perhaps some

The Teeny Weeny Arachnid

The teeny weeny arachnid
crawled up my dingy wall.
Little did he know
this would turn into a brawl.

Then I grabbed a shoe
held it high above my head.
And the teeny weeny arachnid
is now officially dead.




*Nearly two years ago, on April 2, 2021, I decided to try ’30 days of poetry.’ This was day two and the prompt was:

The New Arachnid On the Block

I'm the new Arachnid on the block.
I'm funky, I'm chunky with flair.
You'll think me cruel 'cause insects are my delicacy,
But I warn them - " Defy me if you dare! "
I must say, I hate to be unfair.
I advise them not to get too near.
And though I move fast, if they stay over there
I'll never

Arachnid

It's in there I know it is I saw it,
It made my skin crawl,
My mouth is dry,
Backing away not knowing what to do,
The family is out there is only the dog,
What should I do?
I'm terrified but I need the loo,
It's still in the bath I've seen it,
I look away it's no good it has to

The Spider Arachnid

Covered in the jungles evergreen thickets, beneath
Stones and mortars refuge lays an old Mayan crypt,
And on it is written an ancient curse, dare not enter 
Mortal men, or forsake thy living soul, as tributes
Offering at the altar, of the Arachnid Queen.
At midnight's twilight hour, under the moon's elliptical
Shroud of illusions, is exposed isolation's
Forbidden tomb of
