Thanks, Brian, Ann, Martin. Some great stuff there :-)

I've just realised 'Poemusicals' looks like musicals by Poe. I quite like that idea. This is new:


Bite too

But I could be a devil to you
I could bite like a tarantula
Right through the skin
And leave my poison dripping
Deliciously unsuspecting
Protecting you from all harm
Except perhaps from these arms
That hold you.
(Faithless, 'Tarantula')



So you think you're a devil. You wish. Come, let's level:
00your bites leave no poison in me.
You have only saliva, mere man, whereas I've a
00true toxin I'll unleash with glee.
You may gnash your incisors and get a few risers
00from thoughts that you're causing me pain,
and that I need protecting. As if. Stop projecting.
00I don't want to tell you again.
I've a secret. I'm hybrid. I’m woman–arachnid.
00Some night I’ll go Tara on you.
I'll be huge, hot and hairy. You'll find me quite scary.
00You'll find that I like to bite too.
