Little Spider, Little Spider

A curious person finds a curious spider. A curious love ensues.

Little spider, Little spider,

I found you dressed and dapper,

Crawling about my keyboard,

Discovering the unexplored.

 

With those beady little eyes,

I thought they were two, but they were nine!

That white face of an owl,

That body of dark hair-cowl.

 

Little spider, little spider,

You inspire.

I wasn't afraid,

afraid of your trade.

 

Little spider, little spider,

I wanted such critter.

I wanted you forever,

forever and ever.

 

Little spider, little spider,

I put you in plastic and trapped you with claspers,

I set you by my desk and studied you,

With my close-up spectacular view.

 

Little spider, little spider,

Your fate grew graver,

no matter where you cleave,

you cannot leave.

 

Little spider, little spider,

that was your last hour.

I was wrong to imprison you,

but it is too late--

Little spider, dead spider.

Author's Note

Ok, this sort of really happened. The spider really had a white face and it was hairy, and it was the COOLEST spider I've ever seen. I'm not usually not uncomfortable around spiders, and I absolutely loved it. XD I also first thought it had 2 eyes and thought it looked a lot like an owl. I put it in a spacious plastic container.
However.
The spider had a much happier experience with me. I did not put clasps over the top of the container, the spider had only 4 eyes (at least that's all I saw) I did look at it for a while, but not like those creepy scientist guys. O.o I just loved the way it looked like and owl, and the side of its head looked almost like a person's head (which was weird since it was attatched to a spider body) after looking at it for a bit I went outside, opened the lid, and let it crawl out. And that was the end of my happy experience with the spider. :3
P.S the image doesn't exactly match the spider I saw. The one I saw was cooler. XD

i also love the rhythmic flow to this piece, also loved the humor!:D "Little spider, dead spider." ....poor spider!! (even though like many here i also am scared of them!)
anyways, it was really nice! very well-written, im sure the spider appreciates this poem dedicated to him:D

Thank goodness! The spider lives!! The poem was sadder though. R.I.P spider in the poem. The poem was awesome too! Light, yet sad at the end. Great job!

._. I feel like a murderer. I always order them to be killed.. I have a really childish fear of spiders. I love the rhyme meter of this. Wonderful as always. :) Deliciously sweet and an easy read~

[rae52]

great i am glad to here you didn't kill it though

[Ami N.]

Aww. Sad, sweet, and creepy at the same time. This was nice :)
I am deathly scared of two things: spiders and snakes. If they get anywhere within 30 feet of me, I can go crazy.
Overall, nicely written ^_^ I only found one tiny mistake: In stanza 3, afriad should be afraid.
Great job! :)

Haha, sad but funny at the same time. Not exactly my favorite subject though (I'm personally afraid of spiders, I think it may have been when I saw Harry Potter 2 when I was only 7 or 8) :P
Great job, though!
