Poetry: Arachnophobia

by Sara Daw

Created on: October 06, 2009

As dusk settles on dusty lairs,

As little feet caress the stairs,

As the cold wind starts to howl,

You start to weave; a webby cowl,

At first your kin are sweet and small,

At first you pitch on darkened wall,

At first I shrug; tis no matter,

But then your friends invade and scatter,

I turn on light and there you are,

With legs so long that stretch afar,

I scream and run in headlong flight,

The cat is startled by my plight,

It gazes at what I see,

Hesitates then starts to flee,

Cat and I tear down the stairs,

You call your friends; they come in pairs.
