I do not like spiders, nor am I much for poetry.

But I do like this poem about a spider.

Spider
legs, eyes
meet, eat, greet
little, odd, creepy,hungry
Spider.
Denver. Canyon Springs MS, Austin

The poem was written for the 2010 Austin International Poetry Festival which I found out about on Guyslitwire's feed on LJ.

You can follow the link to read the blog about the contest and some of the other winners, but I want to quote this bit from the blogpost for truth and awesomeness: Whatever you do, write. Write what's in your heart, and share it with others. Because our innermost passion deserves to be shared, not swallowed like a lump of burning coal.
