Dancing with Spiders

thanks for the inspiration from The Ocean is Always Calling Me

dancing with spiders
jumping with glees
trotting with alligators
please don't eat me

chortling with katydids
long legs so fine
prosperous mantis'
lick their lips but don't whine

mixing with manx's
tropeing with ticks
till my breath is in gasps
and my gizzard's in bits

widows and recluses
stand in confusion
is it lunch . is it breakfast .
are they lunch in profusion

dancing with spiders
my life day to day
poison and danger
come and join the fray
