Lady Arachne

Her chemical antenna

draws them in

Drag line trap

You dance and strum

oh foolish one

Seduction 

is a certainty

dark devious

 creature she

like the rose of thorns 

bleeds them dry

Boastful face 

of virtue bold

Curse 

does the cursed 

For betrayal

 is blood deep

in blue veins

 cold blooded one

Releasing her length 

into the wind

A catch

She walks across

 the bridge created

and her auxiliary spiral

Smiling 

as she works

on that web 

of fine silk

Luring them in

Such a deadly thing

Pure darling droplets of dew

Sparkle

Oh elegant trap 

of radius threads

and sticky beads

Her many eyes 

watching 

patiently

for you

Insect prey

That sensory seductress she

ensnares 

vibrations

motion felt

The lady hunts 

and kills

That fearsome predator 

of cheliceral teeth

Darkness haunts those

caught 

in her web

stuck forever within

until swinging fangs

suck 

Struggle not nightmare

her sweet taste of venom

A paralysis

so you can lay, relax

wrapped in that same 

delicate silk

Body and mind liquefied

Now dark blob

scurry away

shrivelled and shrunk, you

legged freak

hiding in the corner

creeping silent

weaving only webs and webs

Patterns of wonder!
