Here is a wonderful poem in honor of Halloween. It was written by a new poet who is just beginning to find his voice: my brother, PH.
Squish Goes the Spider!
My name is Mike
And bugs I like
But spiders are a different kind
One I sure hope never to find
There's something on the rug
I can see it's no bug
Squish goes the spider!
I look up and see a web
Made by one I call Jeb
I knock it down with a broom
Across the floor it starts to zoom
It looks like its about to frown
As I run it down
Squish goes the spider!
Two in one day
Pretty good I have to say
Sometimes I miss and they flee
Smiling back at me with glee
To me they really are a pest
Of this I do not jest
Squish goes the spider!
If one escapes my sight
My sis always would be full of fright
She screams when one is on the wall
And just watches it fall
I don't want one to bite her
Squish goes the spider!
I love this! Well done!
