Ode to a Spider

There once was a spider that lived for the winter

‘Tween the glass in the window where ‘He’ fed her flies

Freely I admit, I abhor these leggy arachnoids

They cause me great stress, paranoia!.

Yet Hilda, Her name, was not so creepy

Stuck between glass panes, she could not reach me!.

So I just observed her and let her be!.

While I soaked in the bathtub

Of soft scented bubbles

She in the window would dine!.

She stayed there all Winter

Got Fatter and fatter

But when spring came

There was something the matter!.

Hilda had gone to the great beyond

Leaving my window empty and bare

I miss watching her there!.

Its cool, when I was younger I used to pretend that ladybugs and spiders were my pets and I thought they were my friends!. At the time few people understood me too but the bugs didnt' judge me!. Thats just my experience, I'm not trying to be sarcastic or judge you or anything I really do like the poem!. Great jobWww@QuestionHome@Com

I enjoyed this!. It reminded me of a spider who spun a very large web on my front door!. Every morning I would open the door to leave and destroy the web, and every evening when I cam home it was like new again!. The went on for a very long time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's pretty good!.
I especially like:

'Hilda had gone to the great beyond
Leaving my window empty and bare
I miss watching her there'
It shows how little things like a spider not there anymore can make everything feel alot emptier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is beautiful!. Accepting nature, enjoying it, embracing it -- that is wonderful!.tWww@QuestionHome@Com

So sad she's gone!. How interesting to have watched!. What an imagination and such creativity!. But I don't know who "He" is who fed the spider!. I loved this!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It seems like there might be a few lines missing near the end, but quite good, overall!. I love nursery-rhyme type poems!. BOKO!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

sigh

my first thought when I finished was!.!.
if the window was bare!.!.where did she lay all those eggs!.!.
I don't like spiders!. Except for Charlotte of course!.
