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 crystals
You know,
she needs one
reason to sting
The lingering
scent of red
in her web
brings comfort
and the familiarity
of intoxication
She’ll gyrate
you into an
intricate basket
in the form
of a human casket
Using you for nourishment
for survival
like all the rest
cannibalistic
by nature
She will eat you alive
you want her to
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!
