#8 - archetypal monsters by Linda Fullerarchetypal monsters and those of their ilk
dwell in reticulate perilous silk
armed to the eyeteeth with venomous milk
intently loitering, eight knobby knees
taking a swing on arachnoid trapeze
preying like mantises, stinging like bees
laidback, phlegmatic and not quick to anger
noshing on flies like the Brits with their bangers
leaving their molts like blasé doppelgängers
