SPIDER
2 April 2001

About ten days ago
I fed a hungry little spider.
“On what?” you say.
Oh, I gave him a calf….
My left one, actually.
He didn’t finish it
which shows how considerate spiders are -
and I have plenty of leg left for myself
and the arachnid signature is fading fast.
And somewhere out there is a little spider with whom I have blood ties,
but sadly I won’t recognise
him
(or is it her?)
if I should meet up with
my little blood brother
or sister.

What a sweet thought Diana. I love your critter poems and this one is outstanding.

And what a lovely response, Kate!  It gave me a giggle and a long, happy smile.  Thank you.

Oh, and I meant to say as well that I love the term, "your critter poems"!  I don't know about my critter poems, but I certainly love the critters!
