    Spiders

    Clans of venomous spiders nurtured her from conception their black spiny spindle of legs wove her skin of immortal silk decades ago Spinnerets sparkle like poisonous ornaments from the wall of nightshade that blooms in her bedroom She’s innocence embodied in a toxic withered frame lean in a smidge closer her web of white gold sparkles like sugared...

    • And there was me lamenting where have all the DU gone? And in the space of a weekend, your good self, Mark and Gary appear and life seems a little bit normal again. I stay away from spiders these days. I can’t tell you how much I wish the best for you and Styx. Welsh Rob

      • Hi Rob!! How are you doing amigo?
        I’ve been working and taking digital art classes. I finally finished my book! I’m so excited. I’m waiting for my printed copies to arrive in the mail. It is titled Poetry Stained Teeth! It’s on Amazon and I’m looking to work on my marketing so lots going on. I’m so happy you stopped by and left me a comment. Your writing is golden so I appreciate you stopping by to say hello.
        Now I need to encourage Mark to get his rolling!

        Later gator

    • Perfect timing. I was in a friends OLD basement and saw three spiders to the right of the door that opens to the backyard. Creepy things for sure – and kind of big.

      And as for women, I’ve met one too many who were there to spin their web. To catch their prey. But through my cleverness and acts of evasion I eluded them. But oh, what I could have had. :))))))

      Nice one, Adel.

      • Hey there Tim!

        I literally freeze when I see spiders. Especially the big one’s. But they do make badass webs!
        This write is an oldie but goodie. Trying to do a lot of things at once. I finally finished my first book. It’s small but lots of color
        and art. It’s on Amazon titled Poetry Stained Teeth. I’m waiting on my books to arrive in the mail. A year’s worth of work!!

        I’m so proud of doing the cover and each page of art myself. I plan to do 3. I’m currently working on the first pages of my second book with the sub title The Golden Addition. Or maybe I’ll use the word addiction. 😂

        The last book I want to do is a dark volume. Yikes!

        I’m so happy to see commenting on my write amigo. It’s been a while:)

    • Are you talking about my evil twin? She escaped? This is so good, and the way you wrapped it up with ” You know you want her to, was perfect.

      • Hi Fia!
        It’s been so long since I’ve posted anything. Thank you for dropping by with a comment. This is an oldie but goodie.
        I already see how I want to do the art. lol. I want it to look like an antique Victorian picture.

        She could be my twin sister too!

        Thanks for using the word perfect! Made my day:)

    • It’s about time you posted something! I’m tired of everyone asking me where are you!
      LOL. So pick up your own slack!
      And here you are, finally! I sense the halloween theme that this seems to coincide with. And for the record, you’ve dressed a bit venomous before…I am so wrapped up.
      Awesome visuals that you crafted within this clever write. Your artwork is equally impressive, but we must wait til ? For those.
      So lovely to see you here my love!

      • Hi baby!
        I can’t let you be the only one posting. I’m sorry I’ve been slacking! I need to get back into writing more but the art takes me forever. And yes, I will gyrate you mister. Hahahaha
        September and October are great inspirations for writing. This is an older poem but I thought I’d
        post something since my writing has stalled. lol. Love you sweetie. I’ll call you in a bit. MWA!!!

    • Lol, spiders aren’t really my thing, but I’m glad to see your writes again, anyways 🌼

    • Hey Joe!!
      This is an older one. Thought I’d try and post something. It’s been a while.
      Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment amigo:)

      Spiders at not my thing either. I appreciate from really far away!! In case that little guy decides to jump.
      Then I’ll squash him like a cucaracha!! lol

      Later gator!

    • Beautifully penned, Adel. Incredible imagery my friend and an excellent write. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Hey! Thanks a ton amigo. It’s fixing to be October so I wanted to bring the spiders
        You know a couple of years ago I started a poem titled Puppet Master inspired by the song from Metallica.
        I’ve heard it before but it came on in the movie Stranger Things and boom! All this inspiration came so I jotted a few things down. Then I lost my notes!!! I need to find and finish!!

        Thanks for stopping by!

    Watching Humans Play

    Sometimes the meaning gets lost in translation  Signals are crossed in memories that seem jaded Plastic people are always asking for motivation  Until all the fascination slowly leaves one sedated   Observation is an art form that must be mastered A tactic to study humanity...

    • “Observation is an art form that must be mastered.” I love the contempt you pour on the system, from the “Marshmallow figures” bowing to a “corporate bastard,” to the reality of censored voices. The final, detached image of “Strumming an old guitar while watching humans play” is the perfect, chilling exit from the chaos. Brilliant and perceptive.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Roma. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I do have a lot of contempt for the system. lol. You picked some of my favorite lines as well. Glad you dig the ending, thanks for your wonderful commentary and continued support my friend. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • I read this in a minor key….
      Great work.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Peter. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Most of my writes are in minor keys. Usually D minor. lol. Appreciate you.

    • Art is an art. It takes a good eye and connection to emotions. But some treat it as a product. Like Lionel Richie said ‘there are creative artists and created artists’.

      Great ink friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Great quote from, Mr. Richie. And it completely true in my opinion. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Preach it, in rhymes! Well delivered in a poetic voice that stays to the front of our brains. awesome words Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I try. Appreciate you.

    • Brilliant imagery. Excellent.

    • The games people play are often cruel and thoughtless, and more often they don’t even give their own opinion. Like marionettes, they do and repeat what others tell them. We all should begin to be more authentic and have meaningful and responsible conversations for the sake of all persons involved.
      A brilliant socially critical poem, dear Damian!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I completely agree with you, communication is critical. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Well thought out and well executed. Marvelous write Damian.

    • I think most poets, indeed most writers in general are people watchers at heart .. You just nailed us with this one sir .,. Write on brother .. Neville 😎👍

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I concur with that assessment, we are watchers indeed. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Please tell me this one might have a place on the album. This is what’s called a hole in one! Makes me think about how much chaos is visible of what “they’re” doing. It’s like the iceberg. What aren’t we meant to see? That’s the shit that keeps me up nights. Eyes on honesty, as always, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Actually, I hadn’t considered this one. But maybe I need to take a closer look. Always a pleasure reading your commentary. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • “Plastic people are always asking for motivation” I like the message on this, as if some folks seek validation from others to feed ego. I’ve always thought the initial motivation should be intrinsic so as to have a solid foundation in our true worth. Maybe social media has watered down much of that.
      Amazing work.
