Arachnid Poem One
by ~rodeoclownSometimes 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
--
there is so much beauty around me, sometimes I feel my heart fill up like a balloon, waiting to burst...
