A little tricky, but I managed it :)

There was something inconsistent and irregular,
about the way they walked.

It was like a sideways stagger,
upon their thin, eight stalks.

Where do they come from,
They say they’re from the moon.

A species from the lunar surface,
and play a Lunar Tune.

There is not much else to say, I think,
about these spider species.

They must have some sort of genre,
Like Lunar Anomalies.

    Spiders scare me, actually. Cute one, Marie.

    You managed to solve a mystery. Sometimes spiders jump-walking like an astronaut. So they come from the moon, no wonder. Thanks for sharing.

    A lovely poem about horrid spiders! I like the way you described the way they walk and tied in the challenge words. Great choice of image too!

    Good effort

    Since spiders from anomalous moons will undoubtedly rule in the next life, it’s good that you pay attention to them now.

    Fun piece. I still don’t want to meet any spiders that can survive in space.

    I know there’s more to the story!
