Golden Garden Spider
in the centre
of her silken orb,
the outer threads of which
seem held aloft
by the plant's "arms",
as if in subservient duty
to her sinister charms.
A golden garden spider
lives in a plant
by my pond,
a plant whose spreading spikes
each end in a profusion
of compact purple booms
that may have attracted her
to this place.
Trees
The trees stand like soldiers,
guarding the forest,
guarding the deer,
guarding the bear,
guarding all the animals
that dwell in there.
Five
There are demons, devils and evil spirits waiting in the hall.
No money is needed to be seated to join my masquerade.
You'll soon see all your dreams and wishes, are purely a charade.
Your currency will be worthless.
No fees, or coins, or tolls. Finish the Five .......
School Daze
You think of the summer, and the briny sea-shore,
With hands on your chin, you sadly exclaim,
That going to school is a waste and a shame.
