PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Hopelessly lost, the tarantula lies halted in the

   middle of the kitchen floor

Does it think I will not notice it if it stays still

Hard to miss such a critter the size of my palm

I coax it into a dustpan same as I do

   its much smaller cousins into jars

Somehow its lumbering advance makes it

   seem less menacing than they, its more

   swiftly darting kin
