The Spider Rises (a poem)

I wrote this poem after I broke up with my ex-husband. He is the spider in the poem and the web I was stuck was the violent emotional confusion we called a relationship. My husband helped with this one.

[woodlandpoet]

Thanks. I mixed porsihead and the alien theme song together for the background.

Cool..what program did u use to mix the 2 songs together?

[woodlandpoet]

I just use my windows movie maker and made them fade into each other. I did not use much of the Alien theme music.

Thanks. I just thought the image of being stuck in a spider web would be perfect symbolism for what domestic violence meant to me ( when I was in that situation). Yes, this poem means a lot to me. It is one of my favorite. There are not many art forms that allow you to turn your ex into a spider. Thanks for watching.

Not everybody sees the spider for its romance. Well done for sharing this - I can tell it means a lot to you.
