From her belly a thread stronger than tensile steel, every vibration she does feel
With eight legs and eight eyes, she hangs suspended to catch wandering flies
Her web a chaotic mess, poised she awaits her visitors in formal dress
She waits until the time is right, her prey with two venomous fangs to bite
A shinny and slick body is her bait, an amorous courter unaware of his fate
When in the mood she does wait, after consummation she eats her mate
Some women like the spider, just looking for a rider that will soon find himself inside her

Thanks so much for the read and support Norman
most welcome friend
This amorous courtier is always that willing prey at the moment of fatal desire ...
Many men think that way suffering from high hormone pressure a common ailment among the gender. Thanks so much for the read Lorenz
I am fortunate to be cured of it !
It just shows you what guys do for sex.
In saying that, big Mary did the same.
Mind you, friends like that, who needs enemies.
Thanks Paul for the read and comment. Yes it is one hell of a strong drive and many a guy has lost his head over it.
Well done, you use the metaphor of the black widow spider—known for its lethal mating habits—to illustrate how some women may manipulate and dominate men in relationships, leading to their downfall.
Thank you Friendship for your read and interpretation of this poem. Yes you are right there is an analogy here. Nature works across species. I appreciate your input my friend
Good write SB. I might swoon at the last line! heehee.
Thanks Orchi for the read and comment. That line has a technical loop hole so Fido doesn't bark, it can be taken two ways
Phew! So Fido need not save me from a possible swoon. lol.
Black widow - sounds like KP. She might dish me up something horrid and fatal. lol.
Beware the love bite after sex Orchi
Hello, Soren,
To see the danger and yet enter her realm. The overwhelming power of lust and the temptress's skill of seduction to please both her desire and hunger. Talk about two birds with the one stone. Fine dining this one, Soren.
Fond regards,
Tony.
Thanks Tony for the read and comment. Yes had a lot of them around when I was a kid haven't seen too many since. Quite a few Recluse spiders though in Florida was bit by one shortly after moving the took six months to heal. Love spiders though, keep the mosquitos down and this one its suitors as well
Sometimes we go hunting, only to be hunted... among the fabrics and sheets lie true, enticing traps... made to fall into
Thank you so much Carlos for the review and comment it is deeply appreciated
One of my worst fears to meet the black widow 🕷️ a wonderful poem my dear friend. 🌹
Thank you Teddy for the read and comment it means a lot my friend
Reminds me of the Scene in 'The Incredible Shrinking Man: Shiver's.
A going Metaphor.
Indeed. Thanks so much Kevin for the read and comment it is apreciated
My Pleasure. As always.
SCARLETT JOHANSSON!!! Sorry, Soren, that's literally where my brain went the moment I saw your title! LOL! And frankly, I wasn't disappointed by the mental image OR the poem! Though I'm suddenly feeling considerably less adventurous about dating in the arachnid kingdom! 🤣🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
That is an interesting association my friend I wonder how that linkage transpired. I appreciate the read and comment as always and will be thinking about the jump from spider to actress.
I think I married her, she didn't have all the legs but the two she had were enough of a trap, that and the red hair.
Try not to get eaten my friend. It hurts and what's spat out is a mess!
Thanks my friend for the review. They don't spit anything out just suck you dry and leave only a shell.
Good point. I'm the hermit crab that lives in the shell. 😏
Not too different than me a turtle also with a shell
