Deadly Game.......

Like a deadly jewel

she hangs

swaying in a toxic breeze

beauty in the face of death

comes the spider

in summer's last dying breath

her sweet seduction

is everlasting

as is her poison condition

as she crawls toward you

in her false beauty

your grave shines through

Amazing and terrifying! This just left me with a chill running up and down my spine. I shivered too.
Nothing is more frightening than a spider or a black widow spider! Fantastic write!

This poem gave me the creeps, shivers and made my hair stand on end!
Superb horror!!!

The Black Widow is creepy, and dangerous which you certainly describe in your words - well not creepy. I just think all spiders are creepy! Your words give us an excellent glimpse of her beauty and power to kill!

Thanks so much!

ah another perspective, so well penned, of the black widow.

she lures, she entices, she loves, she kills.

Thanks a lot!
