Spiders Lament

Spiders Lament

Spider spider go away 

You're still around 

From yesterday 

Hanging there 

Above my bed 

Are you asleep? 

Or are you dead? 

Do you plan 

To catch some flies? 

Or wait for me 

To close my eyes? 

Before you pounce 

Land on my nose 

Run down my face 

Hide in my bed-clothes 

Frighten me 

When least expected? 

Waiting until 

I'm least protected? 

Spider, spider go away 

I really don't 

Want you to stay 

Little girl, 

Just lying there, 

I wish you knew 

How much I care 

I dangle here 

Day and night 

In the dark 

In the light 

Watching over 

You sleep sound 

Until the morn 

When you come round 

I try to smile 

Or give a wave 

Desperate for you 

To just be brave 

Glance up at me 

And smile back! 

Instead, you scream 

Your Dad comes; Whack.

Hi Debs,

Thanks for the read, the praise and the welcome! That is exactly its intention, also to give the grown up a bit of a laugh at the end. I like spiders too, they beat flies hands (and feet) down! This is my first poem on here, and the first I have written in about 30 years, i'll keep on keepin' on.

Hi Tracey,

Thank you for the feedback! Quite honestly I was a little nervous about putting things out there, so comments like this really go a long way.
