A Bag of Spider Legs
By Bethany Davis

A bag of spider legs,
Twisting, crawling,
Squirming, moving,
Are you frightened now?

A tentacle under the stairs,
Twisting, reaching,
Squirming, moving,
Are you frightened now?

A darkened cave,
Lightless, swallowing,
Echoing, closing in,
Are you frightened now?

A lightning storm,
Crashing, flashing,
Darkness, blinding,
Are you frightened now?

A cliff up high,
Plunging, receding,
Dropping, falling,
Are you frightened now?

A silent grave,
Sitting, stillness,
Cold and damp,
Are you frightened now?

From deep inside,
Our deepest fear,
We see it all out there.

On the edges,
Coming for us,
But it's really deep inside.
