I am a spider

I am a spider

I am a spider I sit 
In the corner above
Your  slider door
Fall is coming and 
It is getting cold out
The wind is blowing
And the rain is getting 
Me wet I don’t want to
Be a pain but I must come in
Winter is coming maybe I can find
A dark place where it’s warm and dry
I am a bit shy so I will try
And come in when the time is right
If they sight me then I am in trouble
So night time comes and I come in
And I find a place it’s nice and warm
And I will be dry for now I have to move from place to place
So they don’t see my face
I hope they are kind people
And won’t hurt me or put me outside
Where I will die that is no lie
It could happen then daylight  comes
I must move so they don’t see my
Face I found my place in the house
Up in the attic so no one gets a static
For Being there
For I am a spider,

Poor spiders get such a hard time and yet they tend to like to keep out of the way. Nicely done my friend x

I kind of like spiders and it is that time of year again, isn't it Greg .. I would certainly never deliberately harm one ..

My folks used to say, "If you want to live and thrive, then let a spider run alive" 

All Good Things dear Poet Friend :)
