Poem: Spider Spider

Spider spider

Little spider

Here we go again

Climb up

Squirming

Pushing, turning

Whoops! Back down again


You are a speck

In this big bad world

Just a tiny little mite

Why do you try

So hard, so steady

With all your gritty might


What’s up there

What will you find

Why not leave it be

Maybe it’s magic

Maybe it’s tragic

Will you live to see


Spider spider

Little spider

Oh you sweet wee thing

This world is mean

The people scary

They’ll never make you king


Will you be happy

Just climbing falling

All to start again

Will you have peace

If your wee heart stops

And you can never climb again


Girlie girlie

Big tall girlie

What else will you have me do

At least I’m moving

Winning or losing

Not stuck in place like you


My world is tiny

It’s people small

And we live within our walls

You can spread your wings

And do many things

But still you’re stuck is all


Girlie girlie

Big tall girlie

We both have our way

You in your prison

Me in mine

But where will we go today
