Tiny Terrors

By Courtney Perry
Bellows Falls Union High School, Grade 9

Eight spindly hairy legs
Crawling on the ceiling
While numerous tiny glinting eyes
All focus on the railing;
A slim pale hand is resting there,
The perfect landing pad
The legs swing freely toward the spot
A loud clear scream is heard

“Get it off! Ew! Get it off!”
She shakes her fingers in disgust
Eight furry legs come to rest on the ground
Many glaring eyes glance up in distrust
Such a skittish little girl is she,
Her face could not be whiter
Her friends are laughing long and loud
As she faces off with a tiny spider
