the spider waits in silken nest
to catch the flies he wants for lunch
a thread unbroken always best
he needs a vertebrate to crunch

Björn Rudbergs writings 
I probably shouldn’t have taken such delight, what with the gore, but this tickled my brain! 😉
That was fun. 🙂 Haven’t been around to read much this week as I’ve been very busy but nice to know you’re still writing away.

And that my dear poet friend is only one of the reasons I have a phobia of all things arachind. Gruesome image but it totally fits the subject.
A wonderful take on spider … enjoyed it !!!
Please excuse my inner English teacher of the past coming out…I enjoy your poems, enough to be reading back through these older posts!
Vertebrate = animal with vertebrum, or backbone.
Spiders, thanks be given, need an INvertebrate (animal with no vertebrum) to crunch.
