Today’s poem is inspired by the giant spider I caught for my boys this morning, so many people sent words like predator, avatar, “cacciatore” which means hunter in Italian, that I this just seem to write itself. Thanks to the following twitter followers for the 9 random words (in blue) provided.

@JamesBlackLive (valiant), @jeremylewit (cacciatore ), @ryjr (cognisance), @santasdevil (predator), @denthewise (avatar), @coyotesqrl (collapse), @evliving (withdrawal), @R_Arblaster (uncomplicated), @stnmoon (Friendly)

Hunting Spider

Simple uncomplicated cognisance
like the idealistic avatar
of a valiant predator
a silent eight legged cacciatore

Unsuspecting group of friendly insects
startled when the spider drops down
attempting to make hasty withdrawal
they scatter and jump in chaos

One victim, not so fortunate
as its body begins to collapse
decaying from the injected venom
the spider drags off its midnight snack
