Short Arachnids Poems

Wind
blown
spider
filaments
riding on the breeze-
ballooning on a world wide web....

a small green gecko
smiling in the palapa
watching everything

arachnids calmly 
weave intricate spiderwebs
waiting in shadows

a striped iguana 
sunbathing on the smooth rocks
watching the ocean

hermit crabs scuttle
on wet sand, going nowhere,
only moving on

I have a little sting saved up for you
Because I am not fond of your species.
Most arachnids aren’t.
But I do not have to stay an arachnid.
I can shapeshift into knotted cords with lead spikes.
I can be found in the desert
Or in the Bible
Book of Kings.
My tail is treacherous 
Who am I?

Returning from the pet store,
A bag of spiders in my hand.
To cast amid my woven webs,
Of choices I don't understand.

The problems I've created,
Turning left instead of right.
I'm hoping these arachnids,
Weave the answers to my plight.

With tireless precision,
Their efforts will now cocoon,
My wasteful indecision.
Enlightenment is coming soon!...

beware of arachnids of the worst type
I speak of scorpions, this is no hype
they have a serious sting and venom too
found in deserts and grasslands, they make you blue

a cousin of spiders, ticks, and the tiny mite
this mini lobster’s tricks are worse than dynamite
beware my child of this dangerous predator so fine
His whip tail will sting and kill you if you get out of line...

Christmas reimagined by who…
not Horton nor Whoville
but Doctor Who

A bride vanished from altar
Her reception,
hopped up with Santas and a tree

Ornaments’ revolving, lifting,
evolving into bombs

Jitters, not the groom or bride

A network web
of complexity below
the complex

Racnoss wrapping
sweet gifts

not at all nice

*For those not familiar, Racnoss are Arachnids...
