A creepy poem in honor of Halloween month

Spider Rain

Silk that seems

like angel’s wings

are spiders crawling in the darkness

Webs anchored in splayed hair

Summer raindrop memories are eight legged babies

descending

into satin sheets and draperies

Shadows keep secrets

from the morning sun

For Halloween month, I will be sharing spooky, creepy, haunting, and strange but lovely poems, pictures, and posts throughout the next two weeks.
