The Night Crawlers

Insomnia poem

 

Into the night,

The spiders creep and crawl;

Onto your skin and onto your clothes,

It’s impossible to get them off.

The webs are too thick and too strong,

Holding you still as their fangs

Dig deep into your fragile, naked skin.

So as they come around you and take you as

The hostage of the week,

I wouldn’t be surprised if the

Mother of them all comes to stay

And watch you; for she is very fond

Of her children learning

How to feed on human skin.

Squish, Splash!

Now you’re in pieces and all is ruined.

But oh well, they can always

Find another feast to feed upon

For the next week for the dreadful
ritual of the Moon of the Dark Blood.

EWWW!! SPIDERS! God, I hate spiders! If you were trying to scare me, great job! I actually felt every word of your poem. Interesting little talent that I don't quite appreciate, but this really was a job well-done. Thanks for the read request... I think. UGH! SPIDERS!!!

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood :P

I thought the imagery was great! I am a spider-lover, although these spiders don't seem so friendly. Keep the poems coming, late night insomnia is the best inspiration for writing.
