Poetry: Black Widow



Bumped up to share with  Tuesday Platform. Originally posted 20/10/2010




Her prey is found so easily
She spins her web and waits to see
Her trap is set, she'll make it clear
That loving her was your idea


She's the answer to your prayers
She'll steal your heart while you're unawares

A chameleon, swapping and changing
Becoming the girl you dreamt of possessing


She has you now, where she wants you
No turning back, try if you must do
She'll devour you and spit you out
Isn't this what the game's about?


Time to move on,
Find fresh prey
There's plenty more
Begging to play



Love KB

    Summed up the noirish female species (not-so-)nicely. Good stuff!

    Yes, yes of course life grants us these in both female & male versions. POISONOUS! Excellent writing depicting such an aspect of false faces/ and hearts so foolishly seduced! :) April

    Great capture. We all know her - it seems to be in her genes or in her jeans but where does she go at the end - even Charlotte would have no pity. Thanks, Gay @beachanny

    "Her trap is set, she'll make it clear
    That loving her was your idea."

    In fact, every thought every man ever had was probably her idea. And with eight legs - Deadly!

    I dig this poem and bet it would kill (pun intended) if set to music. There's a song called Queen Bee from the Bab's Star Is Born that reminds me of this but yours is better. I get so many spider webs on my porch in the summer that people freak out when I turn on the porch light.

    My favorite line is "she'll make it clear
    That loving her was your idea." Chilling

    My husband's ex was so spiderish I suspect he was thinking of her when he always said "the widow spider." Leaving her official racial identity out of it. (She was a mixed breed like us, but mostly Black.)

    She's an insidious one all right. But people will still throw themselves into her web even knowing the risks.
