>>> Hi Peeps,

>>> and wouldn't edit it dfor a mint, LOL.  I've written a few poems about 
>>> spiders, as I love the hideous little monsters somewhat, but this is 
>>> probably the best.  Comments welcome, as always.

>>> Sprawled in my favorite chair,
>>> I  found a spider striving down

>>> uncruel, I meant to brush her
>>> from my collar to the floor,
>>> but a brainless finger crushed her.

>>> Drunk on ideas the size of salt,
>>> her witty legs, those marvelous legs
>>> had skittered her down the wall
>>>
>>> to vistas of heaving; the ebb
>>> and flo of my breathing.
>>>
>>> A ruined husk.  I didn't reckon
>>> the difference between our lives,
>>> the stellar gap between a spider's
>>> life and mine:  and this was my task,
>>> for if it exists, a reckoning spider is
>>> truly a monster, a foe to be fought.

>>> But she was no monster,
>>> and I was only a man in a chair,
>>> reading, with no ill intent:  and yet
>>> that tiny walker died, a small
