I completely get this piece and it is a frighteningly horrific feeling when you are a child. Love the impactful feelings in such few words. 🦋🌹❤️

Thanks a bunch, Joni. I had just awakened one morning and as I lay in bed this poem came to me all at once. I had to hop out of bed and scribble it down on a paper towel before I could forget it! 😁 I’m definitely not a fan of spiders, so this seemed a perfectly menacing counterpoint to hope. 🙂
