Arachnid Poem One

by ~rodeoclown

Sometimes I wish I was a spider
I\'d make a subtle web
spun from the finest silk
and wait for a fly

I would make my home an artwork
to be seen by all the world
sparkling in the dawn,
invisible at dusk

I could crawl wherever I pleased
my only dread a shoe
thrown at me in fear
and they often miss

Sit upon the ceiling, watching
as another world passes by.
Another fly-on-the-wall
is just a meal

The venom in my mouth would not
come just from my tongue
I would destroy with my fangs
and not with words

A short life, and morbid
living on a death-trap
with no friends at all
even my mate wants to eat me

Have you ever wanted to be a spider, and just be really small, and completely ignored?

This poem, and it's counterpart are both inspired by a web I drew.
I couldn't decide whether to have a serious poem, or a fun poem...
so I chose both, read my other arachnid poem two...
[Did you like that use of 'two' to also mean 'too'... um, I'll go now ]

Hey, this is nice. I like it lots. Nod I'm gonna go look at the other one now.

This one is also good... but I prefer the funnier one. The rhyme in this one also makes it kind of funny... maybe they could be integrated?

there is so much beauty around me, sometimes I feel my heart fill up like a balloon, waiting to burst...
