Best Spider Poems

She returns my gaze when I'm too restless to sleep
   a lustrous pearl mounted, deep set in a sapphire sky
I lie awake in my room, papered in spider spun silk
   Slumber is allusive to us tonight; the moon and I

I wonder...

Blades of grass, wet under foot, insect eyes  
Dusk, offset by the cricket orchestra 
Muted and receding into the trees and bushes,
Tickled by the wind, rattling snake tail wind 
While we may be in the company of wolves,
A long legged friend is late for...

SPIDER

Near invisible
But strong
To reach with lace fingers
This gifted mite would weave his cunning art

His task
With tireless purpose
Comes a swinging
Be it light or in the dark

Come then
Hide now
In my castle’s corners
I’ll not a meal deny thee    nor harm
Climb safely    make...

Now usually when a spider finds its way into my home
I squash it right away saying, hey my space alone

But one day I came upon a fuzzy little spider there upon my dryer
Frantically running up and down the chrome strip which looked like a mirror

He...

heaven sent crystals
glistening on silken threads

sitting, spine curling, eyes glassy in rebound reflection 
internal struggle in cyberspace brings smiles and a few brief howls
feeding off my own mass, I disregard this reality

neural synapses tickle the pleasure centers free of charge
have I eaten, have I bathed, have I moved in how...

At the stump of the fig tree
where sweetness and fragrance
have long departed
a rain spider has built a nest
of autumn-dried leaves
covered with a blanket
of delicate silk.

I stand and watch
the little spiders
coming out to play
in smooth fur jackets - 
first, a game of tag
and then a fencing...

Between a flowering hedge
and garden path illuminator,
an ancient ritual unfolds.
In motion,  her fascinating legs
are silver lit and busy as they knit 
a geometric circle.

Perfect, concentric as she navigates
in  the half light, it glows unfolding
from her orb, ready to be touched
by morning dew.
Circular, suspended...

All things can tempt me, but some things tempt me more 
Like Squashing a spider, that crawls 'cross the floor 

Bring out the bugles...and sound the alarm 
Wait! I say to myself "She means me no harm" 

Her web in the corner, has caught her...

HENRY THE SPIDER

Intricately fragile, embracing her curves, 
She silently breathes in this womb,
This womb where she is a prey to its wants, 
Its black silken webbing costume,

That clenches her neck, runs down her back, 
Is tattooed the length of her leg,
Where every small inch of her dark...

I prepare myself for a deep relaxing bath
but that dratted spider was out to have a laugh

As I pour scented bubble bath into the water
Spidey climbs the wall  - he’d also bought his daughter*!

He raises a spindly leg as if to wave hello
that pesky...

She offers with those seducing eyes
Draws me in with hot, sexy sighs
Compliments for my clever rhymes
Feels me lonely.. says now's the time 
Wrong seems right.. is that a crime
I've arrived
I've arrived

The Black Widow behind her door
So many men have knocked before
In evening shadows.. after late
Not...
