Creature

Something I’ve always wanted to do is pair my poetry with other art. Sculptures, paintings, collage.. When I was younger I got the idea to make a book of paintings and poetry. In the poetry class I’m taking this semester I finally had the opportunity to do so.

I wrote a poem about a spider that I made out of steel and rebar. The feet are blacksmithed to be pointy, and I welded all the parts together. This was a final project I did for a class, and the spider is five feet by three feet wide.

Creature:

To escape unseen, Benefits of being small To let myself go- A constant rise and fall Weaving designs to hold bodies I’ll catch you but won’t promise to let go

Most catch at my legs or Run screaming away

Blown up large Sharp fangs and feet Provide reason to fear.
