The millipedes who killed the spider.

A fight for life in a tangled web

The millipedes who killed the spider.

The millipedes who stole a web

Spun on branches high and spread

Quiet steps through threads they broke

A web now tangled, spun, and soaked

The spider’s work in silken thread

Caught in loops, its fate was fed

Eight legs trapped in the deadly snare

The millipedes crept unaware

They gnawed and twisted, slow, intent

The spider fought, its will was spent

With wicked bites, the silk was torn

The spider’s fight, the millipedes’ scorn

The spider’s legs, once strong, now weak

Fought in vain as life grew bleak

The millipedes did not relent

Their hunger cold, their purpose bent

A final thrash, a muffled scream

The spider’s life, the millipedes’ dream

The web now broken, soaked in red

The tree stood still, the spider dead
