The Spider Saver Poem by Stephen Katona
The Spider Saver
When a spider decides to roam,
I'm by far the bravest in our home.
It is I who rushes to help,
When my elder sisters all yelp.
Those hairy legs spread across the wall,
Make even the grown-ups curl up in a ball.
The thought of large fangs fills them with such dread,
They shiver and quiver under the bed.
I catch a flying shoe in mid-air,
And give one sister a reproaching stare.
Can she not see this spider's our friend,
And deserves a much happier end?
I'd happily let him live in our cave,
But I'm the only one who knows how to behave,
So I trap him in a glass, as bold as brass,
And release him outside on some dewy grass.
Yet something stopped me taking him far,
And when I go back to the warm I leave the door ajar...
last line: " the warm..." ? ? i like this further comment on nature around you (and us) . i suppose this is make-believe. what size shoe? to MyPoemList and into April showcase this goes. Thanks. bri :)
Not only your sisters but most of the people are afraid of spiders! I feel they are repulsive....! I am sure you leave the door ajar with a secret desire to have them in! You have a natural liking for all animals including the tiny creatures! An interesting read Stephen!
Thank you Valsa. I think the spiders where you live are more scary than house spiders in the UK.

Stephen, you are yet another loss for PH. I give this 5 stars. We have (or had; I might have brushed her/him away into the sink) a tiny spider in our open window over kitchen sind. bir ;)
