Creativity’s
an eight-legged
life-sized terror,
has me cornered –
those menacing eyes
and crushing mandibles
paralyzingly frightful –
about to be consumed,
I throw her some cheese.

No Thanks
I like a crispy stalk of celery
to stir a Caesar’s spice,
or a wedge of tart lemon
squeezable in tea that is iced
and cinnamon is delectable
when steeping in hot cider
but never in my sipping days
have I requested a side of spider.
