Square Poems 17: Spider Acrostic

Some of them have poison,
Producing painful bites.
I could do without them
During those sleepless nights.
Each one me repulses
Rather more than delights.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I call these square poems because they have the same number of syllables per line as there are lines in the poem. For example, a four-line poem would have four syllables per line, and a five-line poem would have five syllables per line.

This poem has six lines, so it has six syllables per line.

Square poems do not have to rhyme, and they do not have to be acrostics.

An eight line/syllable square may have been more appropriate for a spider poem. : -)

I accidentally sent my reply when it wasn't yet finished. I was going to add: But then, spiders don't have two eyes; they have eight eyes as well as eight legs.

Ha ha ha! You have a point there. Too bad the word SPIDER only has seven letters. Maybe I could add another 'eye' and give the spider two eyes: SPIIDER
