Spider Poems

During the week of October 26, in the LIS Library we are researching spiders, then writing poems about them, then creating spiders from chenille stems. Here are some excerpts from our spider poems:

I am a swiftly beautiful predator, I am a black widow.

I dream that I am flying on my web in the sky.

I hear the fly’s wings’ vibrations.

(by Katie, Kim, Allyssa A. and Cindy)

I feel the silky webs move. I know the cricket is near.

I move swiftly across my web to catch my prey.

(Alyssa T., Erlinda, and Sofia)

I am a desert tarantula.

I see a car fixing to run over me.

I hear a vroom, vroom.

(Paige, Anna, Chancey, and Elle)

I am a black widow.

I see darkness in my future.

I need another husband.

(Brenden, Isaac, Daniel, Ruben)

I dream of Spiderman.

(Ryan T., Martha A., Dominic S. and Carine S.)

WOW! We have some incredible writers at work here! After we finished our writing, it was fun to read books with spiders perched on top of our heads!
