Spider

Midnight feeder,

morning porch booby-trapper,

you hide in plain sight.

Scaring humans much bigger

and catching insects unaware.

Your game is survival and deception.

Intricate webbing catches the light

and reveals a fortified trap.

Patiently awaiting the next meal,

and unaware of dread you create.
