A Web Of Deceit Poem by Jean Dament

The clever widow treads carefuly, dressed in black & red,
She's so sly when out walking with not making any noise,
She'll spin her web of lies to entice & turn one's head,
You'll find her quite agile & definitely poised;
So beware when she goes out looking for a mate,
For this solitary ritual quickly inverts to a deadly game;
While her taunting & teasing will become your short-lived fate,
Once she casts her web of deceit, you'll find her afterall not so tame;
And you'll want to flee, but it will be too late,
She'll ensnare you & prey on all of your senses;
While leaving you paralyzed with fear,
This vamp will spue out her venom of false pretense,
It's then the Black Widow Spider wins; as she devours her meal & you know that you have edged to near.
