I like the "spindly spider" description. It helped me to picture these creatures as I read about their demise. I was surprised you left one alive. I thought we would have zero at the end, but surprises are fun :) Anita

A good reverse counting poem - perfect for Halloween - and a great poem to recite if one is asked to perform a trick for their treat.
Nice and creepy, crawly - just the way kids like 'em.

'Tis not good to be a spindly spider! Great artwork. Love this time of year . . . many spiders seek the warmth and solace inside a house! "They" say that we're never more than six feet away from a spider at any time. Hmmmmm. . . .

Ha ha!
...and arghh!
I feel quite sad for the poor spiders... I don't usually!
We have had an epidemic of the little critters this year - they're everywhere!
Great poem, Brooke. Love the humour, cleverness, and the simplicity of the telling.

Thank you so much, Cally. Yes, in a year with fewer of most bugs than usual, the spiders are invading my neighborhood too :-) Brooke

This poem certainly fits the genre! It is delightful in it's consistent rhyme and the alliteration is a big thumbs up! The picture fits so well and the light colored lettering on black background make this an all around excellent poem! Good luck in the contest!

I thought children would love this one, Brooke. Very descriptive and imagery full, ideal for the fantasy of the younger audience.
A pleasant Halloween write suited for the event.
Couplets in good flow. Rhythmically sound.
Well done.
