Seeing such smooth skin

Seeing such smooth skin,
two eyes and just four limbs, makes
the spider's hide crawl

Well humans can be hideous sometimes.

Well, from the perspective of a spider, my guess is they can be. I guess the point is the things that sicken us (though I like spiders), we may also sicken.

Hey, just found your blog and am loving the poetry. Particularly the new life you're breathing into Haiku. This one's great.

Where in SoMD are you from? I just graduated from St. Mary's, and even as my wanderlust drives me onwards and outwards in the world I still catch myself reminiscing about the Bay.

Hi Rebecca,

I'm glad you're enjoying the poetry. I grew up in Fort Washington, in PG county about 30 minutes due south from DC, near the Potomac. Unfortunately the area got over-developed so it's not as nice as it was.
