Black Widow Spider
I’ve never been a fan of creepy crawlers.
They, may, leave you compromised.
I lay witness to one clung to my finger, and immediately sought removal.
I feared in doing so, it would certainly sting.
Left without choice, I approached with caution.
As, I attempted to remove this creature, its venom pierced my skin.
I struggled to lessen its grip, and eventually squash the threat.
While certain its poison would overcome me, and I too would meet with death-
a loud noise roused me from my sleep, and ended my distress.
