Tarantula Poetry

[Aragorn Davies]

OK so i am crap at poetry and english lol..but i wondered if people took the time to embrace their Passion with a little literacy, are their many poems about T's? do people write such stuff? is it good for the enthusiasts to do so,,well i don't know, but i like reading such stuff and i like it when the subtlety or graphic nature of this stuff of nightmares can be encapsulated and enlarged or romanced within our minds....ps i like reading better than writing it and i though it would be nice to see a collection of peoples thoughts on these creatures and our hobby, here is a simple one to start...

Enter her realm but do not stay long
for a silent whisper is but the Tarantula's song
a frightened furtive look reveals she is but gone
your heart to race, please not to strong
vibrations vibrations,. your beating deathly throng.

her approach is masked, a silent surprise
yet her strike so fast with the sight of eight eyes
caught in a flash forever entombed,
in deaths clasp you struggle to move
impaled by her fangs, your end will be soon!

paralytic fear, the final struggle ensues
but in the end you succumb to her venomous ooze
your filled, the final injection of her digestive juice
destined to be a bolus of unrecognisable goo

a warning to those who stray into her lair
be careful,.. for death, the Tarantula she hides deep in there...
