Deep on the sidewalk
a puddle mud of water,
I see a deadly spider
beneath the shadows of
long years trees hanging by the web.

My mom told me not to play
with venomous animals as a child.
A massive creepy crawler,
luckily, it didn't bite me,
If so, I would have been concerned
for my safety.

It is mothers who we should trust
as we once were children at the time.
