Spider Shower

A spider sitting in the shower. 
Just wanted to wash up for an hour. 
But this spider is making me nervous. 
I tried to shampoo but was feeling hard pressed. 
Suddenly that spider jumped about. 
I tried to splash him with water and almost started to shout. 
I became brave enough to throw him onto

Spider Dance

I feel a slight touch on my arm and look down
and………….it’s a spider
Despite the heavy circumstances in my life and a
migraine weighing me down
I fly to my feet and spin around trying to dislodge
the creature that is much more nimble than I am
I try leaping as each joint in my body complains,
I try flicking it

Spider and Fly Communicate Respectfully

A friendly spider addressed a fly,
"I'm glad you could drop by".
"Thanks", said the fly, "for sharing your thought.
You're glad, but I wonder why".
The spider replied, "Why not?"

In a corner of the world, where silence weaves its web like a spider in the night

In a corner of the world, where silence weaves its web like a spider in the night,
Lives trickle away in lines of systematic renunciations, like rivers slowly retreating,
Each step backward is a knife plunged deep into the flesh of attempts to live,
And each unspoken whisper becomes a weight pressing on the shoulders of dreams yet

Puppet or Master

I watched a man play with a spider
On the end of it's own web the other day

Curious

How what keeps one safe
Can be another's play toy -
Playing you like a puppet,
Moving to its masters every whim

The question is
Who is the puppet and who is the master?

The itsy bitsy spider

Inspired by the inimitable nursery rhyme 

The itsy bitsy spider

Remember the itsy bitsy spider
Trying to survive the water spout?
Whether rain or shine
That spider didn't give up or pout

Rainbows will come
Seasons will flow
And that itsy bitsy spider
Will learn to live and grow

So, if you're feeling down
Or struggling in the rain
I hope you'll remember this

Spider

Weird, dangerous eyes. 
Nothing scary. 
Except when I get scared. 

Be like an evil eye. 
Rounded and rolling eyes. 
Could kill me. 
Like a fly.
So a spider eats the fly. 
Before the fly can eat me. 

Sneezing so that they hear you. 
Running around for no reason. 
If I were small. 
Like a spider. 
I

The Sly Spider

"Cheating and trapping others are malicious. One must never try to cheat, if he/she wishes not to be cheated"  ~ By Poet


At the GATE of a viscous net,
The sly spider waited alert. 
A fly flitting closer on SHADOW wings,
Was caught in the dewy JEWEL studded strings.
When about to be wound round in ductile rings,

The Tangled Spider Web That Grows Whilst Panning For Gold

In one short conversation:

First lie- you paid for the grandparent's funeral. No, it was already paid by them in advance with their money thru someone else.

Second lie-you know she didn't like our father; no, I despised your father. The father abused me, because he knew about the real father.

Third lie-It was all about the poisoned

Blank Page

Blank page seems to say
More than I can conversate 
Muse is so rude she left today
I’m left confused feeling a way

Mind is like insect in a web
Spider there it won’t go well
Trapped by the void of life
Times we start over and must write 

Who saw a stick and said pencil
Who saw tree as paper mental
I

Mother

  welcome this heart,

    congenitally, sickeningly loathed

   not even clothed, leave her threshold.


brought into the world, a radial embrace 

   cradled in the rain, slapped across the face.


scapegoat of the mother, never far from the tree

    saddled in pain, crawling formlessly.

Wishes for a Spider

In the whole wide world (and even wider),
I wish you were the happiest spider, 
and so, I wish you, sadly, with a sigh, 
a helpless fly...so you won't cry.

You can cover him up with slime,
a corrosive, digestive enzyme,
that he may very slowly die,
and I don't have to hear you cry.
