Black Widow

"What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider's web. "
NIV Job 8:14

I watch her crawling on my wall
Inspecting surface for her fall
A web to spin to lure me in
Into her trap of deadly sin.

And as she weaves dark deception
Her dark web, craving conception
Her goal today, to make God pay
For giving her a lonely way,

As a black widow.

Newell darling boy this is as always superb writing form you, the picture of the spider is shudderingly clear. I absolutely detest spiders, they really do, I know I’m a wimp. Logically the brain in me tells me that a spider is unlikely to actually hurt me unless it’s enormous or a black widow. But logic goes flying out the window when a spider appears.

Very very good writing


Love and warm stuff
As always

Marsha, darling girl. Thank you for you words of honey. Spiders are neat little insects that teach us a lot about Creation and specie variation. Because the lady Black Widow kills her mate, there is never a chance for one male to mate with two females. This keeps the species pure, unlike the homo sapien (man) which mates all over heaven and earth creating a wide variety of offspring with much disease and suffering due to lack of procreation purity.

(giggles) I was just reading over your response to Marsha's poem after reading this wonderful poem of yours, it is indeed very fascinating and I must confess that I actually love spiders because their works of art are gorgeous and I believe every creature has its own purpose or lifeforce! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Spiders are basically beneficial, often devouring other things far more harmful. Spider webs are beautiful, and capture morning dew and light, revealing tiny little rainbows. But I don't like it when they crawl on me.
