The spider never listened to the foolish little fly,
  So the fly was left unguided, and could never work out why.
The fly would thirst for wonder and the magic of the sky,
  The spider couldn't join her, but would never tell her why.
She'd flit upon the river and in grassy verges lie,
  He'd stay up in his fortress, though he'd never tell her why.
One day she tried to let him know that life can be much more,
  She played upon the spider's web, so high above the floor.
And though she plainly stood before his many glassy eyes,
  The good the fly would gladly do, he failed to see or prize.
Encased within the sticky web, the fly would like to ask
  "What game is it I've come to play, and what's behind your mask?"

But spider never listened to the foolish little fly,
  He ate that stupid little bitch and never told her why.

Sometimes the reason is obvious, but you never stop to think and you end up worse for it - is the spider or the fly more at fault?

The whole thing came from the last line, which I absolutely loved when I thought of it so it might feel slightly lopsided, but that's ok.

(Holy hell, it's been a long time since I wrote poetry, won't be doing that again in a hurry...)

Oh gods, say things like that - I'll start trying and poetry I try to write is terrible as opposed to poetry that forces itself upon me (roughly, oh yeah *wink*), which is merely bad :p
:icondiy-mystery-theatre:
Oops, I meant don't say things like that
:icondragonlady159:
lol! Ahh yes I have that problem too, if I try to write its never any good- the good idea's do kinda just appear in your brain and force themselves upon you don't they? ;) The annoying thing is I quite often find I am out somewhere and have no paper to write it down on so either end up writing it on my phone or using a receipt or something from the depths of my bag :XD:

oh and yes I gathered you meant 'don't' :)
