Best Tarantula Poems

The tarantula built  
a web in the upper-left corner of my patio;
she weaved it perfectly as Antonio
rose on his wobbling feet to reach it.


That boy didn't know that 
spiders get vicious and suddenly bite 
when someone tries to grab them for spite,
and Antonio tried...

Large violet blue wasp with almost uncanny skill
Much bigger and very dangerous tarantula will kill
The sting hard as steel
The final paralyzing blow will deal

The wasp will take spider to the nest
Without stopping for a rest 
To put his larva unto tarantula is his grim quest
Spider...

I am the prettiest tarantula in the Caribbean Sea
My web is the most intricate of my kind, a cone in a tree.
When I get larger my tummy turns red, and my legs turn purple-green.
Anole lizards are my absolutely favorite cuisine.

An 8 legged hairy creature is loose in New York
It is ready to spawn
Spreading the wrong all over the lawn

I will have fried tarantula if you please.
Extra flour and lots of seasoned grease.
You don’t have any?

Cambodia has dishes like these....

Do you need a sanitizer for contaminated hands ?
They were busy in illustrating the ugly contours
of life.
Up and down you were out of joint,
and your feet were not fastened to the ground.

Untainted a shrill voice prepares to rise
from the sullen men
huddled on the floor,
for the...

The TS Restaurant was started by two old broads.
They hammered drums outside using lightning rods.
Come one and all! Get your Tarantula soup!
It’ll make your innards happy, it’ll make you poop!

The mayor was upset, he said “it’s not dignified!”
Until his tummy got knotted, and his feces...

Straight off the hairs of a tarantula.
You will see me coming, leaping right at 'cha.
Full fangs in force to dig deep within.
Digging my vengeance all under your skin.


Leaving a venom that makes you melt away.
Slowly incapacitating the next victim of...

WILD MEADOWS
Wild meadows left and right, guarded
by hedgerows, each side with gates,
openings on sites regarded
macro, wildlife wonders, elate's
scientist, biologist, all.
We venture into grasses tall. 

Eyes wide open, and cameras
all to hand, notebooks recording.
A shout goes up, tarantulas!
Some idiot had been hoarding.
We, for them grateful; took...

Fumigate the neglected rooms of Caleb,
Backing this up with prayers at Mount Horeb 
And tomorrow, another ever wavy web
From an irksome zeal that wouldn’t ebb!
Guess: from the Eight – Legged Catcher of Insect 
Which dares to its lodge near and inspect.

The Arachnid with a True...

Slode's new poem: Bug-man
Tarantula 
Phantom motion seeking assembled characters
Catatonic semi-demonic the fervent priorities
Damned by honesty and crowned the duke of chill
Something happy 
how fast a picnic can run out of stock
On the sale of the green belt on the sails of a pirate ship
A land...
