Lawrence Hall   Poems   2d Tolkien's Shelob the Spider Tolkien’s Shelob the Spider                 “…a great malice bent upon him…gloating over…                   prey trapped beyond all hope of escape.”                                      -Tolkien, The Two Towers A poisonous lump of flesh in malignant repose Her lair all befouled with scraps of souls In life sought out with her multiplex eyes Her Sauron-eyes - it was the hopes that died first Should a sunbeam shine in, it would be darkened Should a breath of air waft in, it would be poisoned Should a sprig of green appear, it would be withered Should a prayer be whispered, it would be cursed A poisonous lump of flesh in malignant repose Within whose realm of hate nothing ever grows (allusions to The Two Towers and Beowulf)
