Esther asked for a 5 word story about spiders. I didn’t think it was fair. Spiders deserve more than 5 words. They are creepy but misunderstood. A bit like me. So here’s a few 5 words in a row.
***
Spiders have too many legs
Crawling secretly on uncovered skin
Under your clothes and within
Places they should never be
Or see. In the dark
To park. And wait. Late
Into the night. All eight
Of those legs. Suddenly awake
You scream. At the unseen
Where those legs have trod
Delivering an octopod love letter
A lobster might be better
***
I scream, you scream. Is it ice cream time?

I like when the unseen, but suddenly felt, spider makes someone do the “wiggle dance”. šš¼
Spiders don’t bother me. I wish the Black Widows would stay away from “people” areas, like the mailbox and the door.
Yep… definitely need for than 5 words.š

Yeah …. this is Australia. Everything bites. So spiders are no worse than most of the fauna.
