Tarantula

If you go out
in the jungle at night,
you may see
an incredible sight.
A tarantula
with eight pink toes 
shining bright,
who will be scared
if you scream loudly in fright
and she'll dash away
into the night.

     Isn't this a beautiful spider?  Well, I'm sure this spider thinks she is beautiful.  tarantulas are extremely shy, so I was very lucky to be able to get her picture on our night walk.  Do you know what you call someone who is afraid of spiders?  They have arachnophobia.  Little Miss Muffett had a spider, and then there is the Eensy, Weensy Spider.  Can you write your own spider poem today?  Oh this should be a good one.  Do have fun writing your poem today.
