Here I lay,
In comfort.
Sweet soft blankets
Warm me up from this blizzard.
Nothing can go astray,
As I lay in dark.
Pure and silent.
But a small creak on my floor
Awakens my blindness.
A creature
With eight claws climbs clumsily
Down my side.
Frozen in horror
I peak with two eyes.
And to my surprise,
It is black and fuzzy.
A creature so monstrous,
It truly stunned me.
I begin to question
What this could mean.
Am I covered in webs
From what I can see?
Has he enclosed me in his small sanctuary?
I cannot seem to breathe,
As the silky spider spins itself
Down by my door.
I hide my eyes
Until I see it no more.
Sleep is no option
As he crawls along my floor.
I silently scream.
But alas,
He takes a route that is out and about.
Out of sight and out of mind,
I sink back into comfort
With a happy sigh.
For what a scare to endure at night.

This poem is about the fear of spiders ! I am thinking of doing a set of poetry to describe different phobias people endure ! I hope you enjoy (I am quite scared of spiders so I can highly relate to this one!)
