A black widow spider spins a silk thread
into a near-transparent dream catcher;
filling her with joy, and her meals with dread.
A very cunning, deadly flycatcher
ready to pounce and mummify her food:
she lies in wait, like a body snatcher.
Any damaged web gets quickly renewed
with her sticky silk, resetting her trap:
so, struggling insects remain firmly glued.
She secures victims in a woven wrap:
ensuring they remain alive and fresh
until she sups: draining them of their sap.
Liquefying bugs, entangled in mesh:
she flaunts a scarlet hourglass belly patch
and fangs that inject poison into flesh.
Males must escape as soon as they detach,
for to this femme fatale, they're a fair catch.
When you awaken caught in the web
where the dew sparkles of rainbows clearly cut
sunlight appears dressed within a sparkle
Diamond Light you illuminate beautiful
warm radiates the sunshine into a heart
trapped as the food for your mercy
The one star that forever paints roses
remains blushing within the dawning morning
when hail speaks falling with a Lion roaring thunder
Chocolate Molten Cake dessert for two
Layered Devil's Food Cake fluffy and rich
In the center chocolate oozes through
Frozen vanilla ice cream does the trick
A little to cleanse the palate of sweet
Warm chocolate syrup which can bewitch
Not on my diet, for a taste did cheat
A huge dessert to be shared by just two
Or maybe more, a few bites each can eat
When shared a special dessert's fat won't rue
Eaten with loved ones, savor each morsel
Bid all ill effects a happy adieu
If shared with all at the table, don't gobble
Let sharing fairly be the story's moral
Chocolate can be pronounced with two or three syllables:
chaw-kuh-lit or chawk-lit
