Spinning The Abuse Web

Free verse, short,

Watching the spider as he catches his prey

Spinning his web, delivering venom

Back and forth doing his work skillfully

There in the web a little Gheni Wasp

 

Fights back each time the spider approaches

Trying to sting and get away at the same time

Each time the wasp gets weaker_more paralysis

Soon the wasp can't move but still alive_barely

 

The spider slowly digest the wasp_eats_enjoys

Using it up until just a shell_inside empty

But still fear_each time the spider approaches

Fear_torment until death_then spider starts again

Wow! So much intensity for such a short piece. Fantastic job! You're imagery is quite impressive. I can really feel the poem from the inside out. Wonderful!

An interesting use of metaphor to depict situations in which humans find themselves entangled ... presented as a relentless cycle. Poignant.
