    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!

    Rhythms of Sunday Chapel and the Rhymes Within

    Saturday's sunset  cracked the pavements of my skin,  I only flirted with the waitress  to keep my mouth moving    Becoming mute was just a covenant  between redemption, forgiveness and  the snow – shuffling into dark clouds  -  waiting to fall backwards     The rainshiver smells of Thursday  dreaming of...

    • Your ability as a writer always makes me interested in reading what you offer today. This is mainly why I find a site to frequent. Not for my own accolades, but to be energized by others’ writes. You do that, consistently. Bravo

      • And this is why I am so pleased I returned to the keyboard a decade ago. I was chatting to our great friend Honoria earlier and I’d love for us all to meet under U.S of A skies.

        p.s. I will have British marines as bodyguards, for some insecure Yanks hate me. Lol. It’s always a pleasure my friend

    • it’s always the insecure ones that hate. LOL

    • I really like this beat-nik vibe. Thank you for sharing. I had a friend
      who wrote beat style- from San Francisco. Miss that guy.
      I like those avant garde stylings. Keep that up

    • Thanks. Not many left who appreciate what the greats of that era contributed. There’s a guy named Vince Balestri who starred in a movie about Kerouac, titled “Beat Angel,” which I have not yet seen. I have to order the disk version. It got great reviews, and it should. Before that,,Vince did a one man show, “Kerouac, The Essence of Jack,” for very many years, touring the US. I was lucky to do the PR for the show here in Austin at Chicago House, now defunct. That show was held over, twice. It was inccredible. We became good friends while he was here. A marvelous talent. I don’t know what happened to him, We just lost touch. I miss him, too.
