Premium MemberFemme Fatale

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

Premium MemberThe Moral

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
