Disembodied hands
Creeping up the alley way
Deadly spiders too
Poison snakes and scorpions
Crawling 'round on Halloween...

Creepy crawlies loosen soil  UNSUPPORTED CODE 
the bark is dust and matter  UNSUPPORTED CODE 
good for all the earth  UNSUPPORTED CODE...

Erica
Daughter, Sister, Cousin, Friend
Baby sister to Brian
Lover of wild flowers, nature and writing
Who feels love, strength, and determination.
Who fears closed minds, wild things, and creepy crawlies
Who would like to see the world someday
Resident of a small town in Vermont

I am digging in my sandpit
and I find a wriggly worm
I take it to show my mummy
you should have seen her squirm!

She does not like creepy crawlies
as they make her feel quite ill
But she's not seen my new pet spider
I have called my spider Bill!

The darkness of a moonless, starless night
when crawlies writhe beneath your bed despite
your prayers, mother’s kiss, and you recite;
monsters are not real; I’ll be alright;
they come; the creepies come without invite.

You hear them moving, though they’re out of sight.
Stay still. Don’t move. And go away, they might.

And so you lay, wet sheets, till morning light....

Mellow meeting mouthing misty maze
 Creepy crawlies crafting crude craze
      Dazzle dreamy distant daze
       Feeling fumbling fond face
         Seek sweet solid space
          Troubling times trace
             Sense sweet sour
                  Hurl hours
                       Ours

    The flood waters are rising, and rising.
             The sandbags didn't keep out
                   All the creepy crawlies.

      Caution! Do not wade into the water!
            Houston, we've got a problem;
                  Alligators and snakes!

Call for help and get the heck out of dodge;
             You might lose a limb or two,
                   Or suffer a worse fate!

Butterflies, beetles

 bugs and grubs. A

 blood thirsty mosquito.

 The bumblebee, the

 hornet, the wasp stings

 without warning. A

 daddy long-legs, a biting

 cleg, a spider climbing

 up your leg. Ladybugs

 and dragonflies whizzing

 about the place. The pond

 skater glides across the

 water, showing such grace.

 A wiggly worm, a tiny

 burrower, under ground

 skimming water or above

 the trees. Creepy crawlies

 are all around me....

Snow Falling on
Blue bells long gone
Meadows upon land vast
Aching for miles...

Of superficial beings,
Trees
Vegetation
Slow to even tide
Winds

Perfectly flawed crisp flake
Down on,
An object bound
In open white.

A fleck of peach
Amidst placid weather
Winter is forever

...Holding...

Pieces of love 
In decay..
And as the creeps become
Crawlies; come out to play.

They each emerge from its mouth with only peace.

The human remained in silence....
