Spider

This was written in 2001 and will be published this year in a Collection of Vampire stories and poetry. This is a different look at the black widow spider who can be seen as a vampiress in her own right!

Spider:

A creepy eight-legged creature
Lies in wait for her prey to arrive.
She organised the nights work herself –
From the interior decorating
To the absolute perfection of her looks.
The man in question thinks himself the
Mel Gibson of the insect world.
A ladies man of the highest degree –
In his little bow tie and big flash smile!

The date is arranged – dark room,
Romantic music – you get the picture?
Anyway, sweet nothings are whispered,
A traditional dance of love,
A tender kiss leading on to much more…
Suddenly, as soon as he thinks he’s won,
Immediately it’s ‘Off with his Head!’
And a satisfied smile dripping with blood.
All that’s left is an eight-legged carcass
Which is cast aside and eaten later…
Heh heh heh!
