little lost spider ...

little lost spider
roam slippery's wall
no one to spy her
take slippery's fall

to home on legs of spindly eight
but in circles around she goes
the around of slow groping's fate
no fear, she has no foes

stroll 'long floor's jungled rug
dirt 'n dust fondling her limbs
to each one, she gives a good tug
free at last from grimes clinging whims

into the trash
for a good "how's the vicar?"
nothin' to snare
save a lick of good liquor

up my back for a startling scare
with fangs outstretched to sink
deep into flesh, fresh be the fare
a scurry of thoughts I did think

to shoo away with a brush of my hand
or to blow across the room
instead I gave her a soft place to land
away from harm's dark doom

little lost spider
not lost in the least
she's mother -- provider
catching hungry's full feast

my new friend to come every day
a visit from her be welcome
to come and visit a lengthy stay
a home -- a meal -- and then some

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

cute.  It's refreshing to read something different.

Opinions are like bellybuttons: eveybody's got 'em and they're good for nothing.
