Not sure what spider month is, 'cause I'm not from Great Britain. I do not really like them either, and most certainly wouldn't want them in my dinner! Fun write.

I also dread that time of year But thankful for the flies they clear I wish they'd hide, stay out of sight Not scurry ' cross the boards at night A movement in periphery Makes heart rate rise immediately I'm quick to make my feet retract For fear of them is not an act Perhaps we shouldn't be so hard On keeper of the fly graveyard I have on up upon a shelf I never see him, he is stealth I often have to use a Hoover Just as a dead fly remover He kills the wasps, he's that hardcore As creatures I hate them much more As long as he stays out if sight To let him live? I think I might! X x Love your poem! X x x I still find them hard to kill directly. It's a glass and beer mat for me, or the Hoover if its handy! But not for Boris the shelf spider! He is spared for his elusiveness! X

A great write and a bit scary. You may keep your large spiders real or of imagination, we've got enough here thanks, no immigration.

Your poem has a power to capsize the mind and is quite aptly written... you are a poet with true mettle Valerie... Changing times may make you contribute in a better way.

Great poem, both fun and oh so true! The spiders come in from the yard and can be scary at times. Esp. when they are crawling on you! Thank you for sharing.

We don't have such big spiders here in India, at least indoors! ! The very thought of them crawling all over gives such a creepy sensation! ! An interesting write! !
