Arachnid…

Spinning tales

Of countless encounters

Somehow, you’ve survived…

Potential harm …to every arm…

Even with eight …so easily, they break…

A willing sacrifice… to attack, evade…

Make swiftly …your escape

So short …your lives…  

Eyes…

You see eight times

The treasure …or trouble…

Have even …little time to mate

 There is no love …in…

You see…

Skill reserved …to capture and distract…

Killing prey …is just a fact…

Tending web… or fending for young…

All for one …means hit

And run…

Today’s survival …is all there is…

When tomorrow

Never …comes…

 

So, now…  

Spin your web

And capture the morning mist…

Let sunlight kiss the dew…  

And with the winds touch…

Make a sail…  

The sinews become your instrument

Whose touch …allows you…

To “see” what’s …on the wire…  

Whether to ensnare and capture

With a quick bite

Now …a ready made meal…

Perhaps …one…

…for later on tonight…

Or will it be …a hasty retreat…

A quick run for shelter

Or a fantastic leap…

A new adventure …each day…

Every …single… one…

Enemies …are many…

 

No time left

…for fun…
