I just found a notebook with a load of poems I wrote when I was about 13/14. They are all about insects and animals. I thought I might publish them on here for a bit of fun. Let me know if your kids like them. Mind you, this one might be a bit scary!
p.s I never found the spider!
The Runaway Spider
By Dawn Porter
It’s 9.30 on a Sunday night and I’m ready to go to bed.
My head is aching, my body shaking,
My eyelids have turned to lead.
I tear off my clothes and throw them on the floor,
I want my bed like never before.
I lie down on my mattress and pull up the sheet,
I am warm and comfy from my head to my feet.
I reach out my arm to turn out the light,
As I do so I get a terrible fright.
Just above my bed on my Persil white wall,
A big, black spider sat ready to fall.
