Kill the spider

By SilentStalker







It's there in the corner
Staring at me
On it's sticky platform
Leering at me
It sees my fearful glances
Laughing at me
It moves its wiry legs
Ready to pounce on me

I grab the closest lighter
And aerosol can
I creep up to the f ucker
As close as I can stand
I release a blast of fire
And almost burn my hand
As I jump back from the web
Before the burning body lands

Still alive...
H o l y S h i t...
Kill it now...
This is it...

As I stomp...
On the f ucking...
Spider.

    Killed a black widow and a brown recluse today, had a lot of outside cleaning to do for the summer fun in the sun. I kill all spiders I see and I do not like them but I find them one of the most fascinating creatures still I don't want my family to get bit so they have to die.

    Hm, okay ... well, to write a poem about to killing one spider, a living creature ... is once something completely different ... But naturally is it a matter of your own opinion if you find it good, funny or meaningful ... For many women, you seem to be a hero. For that ... & for writing the poem of the day ... maybe it could motivating you twice, at least, might you think so, & this motivates me also to a basic comment ... & humor can surely help. Despite everything, you seem to have something done right ... Cheers for your poem & thanks for a new idea.

    Spiders are, by far, more demonic, vile and evil than even the most warped clown; and I. for one, am just a wee bit terrified of the bloody beasts.
