5 Spider Poems
Our Spider poems were written after learning about Rhyming Poetry. The children had a choice of rhyme. They could use either
"a,a b,b" where every two lines rhyme, or "a,b a,b" where very second
line rhymes. The children found it hard to write and the following poems are some
examples of our better efforts. As you can see, all the examples below use "a,b
a,b" rhyme which is somewhat easier to use.
If any of our visitors would like to add their own spider poems, we'll be happy to publish them for you. Just email them to us by clicking here.
It's not easy to rhyme
It takes a lot of time!
To write poetry is hard
We all can't be a bard! ("bard" means "poet")
Year 1S have also written some Acrostic poems about Spiders. Acrostic
Poems use the letter of a word as the first word of each line of the poem.

THE SPIDER IN MY POOL
When I was walking home from school
I saw a spider in my pool,
I got it out and let it free
And it climbed up an old oak tree.
The very next day I saw it
again
It was on top of my plastic model h en,
I got a jar to capture it in
But it bit me and it felt like a pin.
Then a little fly zoomed by
It had caught the spider’s eye,
The fly was zooming around and round
But hit a tree and fell to the ground.
I said to myself “that poor
little fly”
I really thought it was going to die,
I picked it up and threw it away
And it landed in a bail of hay.

THE SPIDER AND ITS WEB
The spider was spinning her web
Hanging from the roof down beside the shed.
It started with a line
Which was really fine.
The spider tried her best
To make her home to rest.
She waits in the day
For the night to catch its prey.
A fly past the shed
And got caught In the web.
The fly struggled to get free.
The spider wrapped him up in web so he couldn’t see.
As the night turned into morning
The spider could see another day was dawning.
Miss Spider had enough to eat.
Now it is time for her sleep.

THE HUNGRY
SPIDER
Once there was a bee
His house is in a tree
Bee’s mum was in a mood
Bee’s dad gave her some food
Bee went for a walk
He saw a stork
He said hello
He was playing the cello
They were thin
Even the bin
Bee saw something wider
Ah! It’s a spider
Bee wanted that pest
The spider put him to the test
Bee chased that spider
And fell in apple cider
Poor little bee
Eaten for tea

MESSY ROOM
I was cleaning my room,
I picked up a spoon,
There was a redback,
Beside it was a sac,
I screamed with surprise,
It looked in my eyes,
I started to run to my Mum,
She thought I was dumb,
We went upstairs,
It grew some ears,
I told you so,
She said oh-no,
I went to my Dad,
He looked very sad,
We went up again,
My Dad thought I was insane,
There were four more,
The rest were on the floor,
They dashed out the door,
And that was the end of those four.

KAY THE SPIDER
One day I saw a spider,
She made a very good liar.
She made a web one day,
Then she asked a fly over to play.
The fly asked if she could sit next to the
fire,Kay said “Of course you little
flier”.
But Kay really meant to say,
“No way, May!”
May sat near the fire,
Kay was right behind the little
flier.
Kay was watching her prey,
None had any idea what was about
to happen to May
May went into the kitchen to
admire,
The new oven on hire.
But the crafty spider Kay,
Was hiding amonst some hay.
The poor little flier,
Went back to sitting near the
fire.
But that nasty spider Kay,
Was still watching her prey!

THE APPLE CIDER SPIDER
One night when I went to bed,
I accidentally sat on a spider.
I saw that it was dead,
So I put it in apple cider.
When I got up, mum looked cross.
She asked “Where’s my apple cider?”
I turned as green as moss.
I replied “I used it for my spider.”
When I went to get my spider,
I got a really big fright.
It was floating on the apple cider!
It musn’t have been dead last night.
I took it straight to mum
She said “It’s a water spider.”
I said “No it’s not mum,
It’s the world’s first Apple Cider Spider!”

MY PET SPIDER
I had a little pet spider
And I asked my friend to mind her,
She put it on her desk at home
Then she started talking on the phone.
The spider went for a walk to the park
She saw a little dog, called Mark,
I received a phone call that night
Next thing you new I’d had a big fright.
It was my friend to tell me
bout my pet
She had been searching day and night but still hadn’t found her yet,
While all this drama was going on
My little spider had found a boy called Ron
He had legs as long as a
snake
His favourite food was chocolate cake,
At last she decided to go back home
As soon as she got there she played with her foam.

SPIDER POEM
Once there was a spider,
She had an egg sac,
She climbed into some cider,
And heard a loud whack!
It was the owner,
Trying not to cry,
For spider was in his cider,
And he wanted to know why.
The spider was in a fit,
Scuttling up and down,
To get rid of the thing, she bit,
While over head came a frown.
The owner decided in his haste,
He should have known better,
Squash went spider, What a waste,
Now there’s a stain on his sweater!

DADDY LONG LEGS I’m a daddy long legs,
But my feet are the size of pegs.
I’d like to eat a wasp or bee,
Because that is so plainly me.
I would like to get a docket,
And fly up to space in a rocket.
I’d fly away to the stars,
Then to the moon and Mars.
That’s what I’d like to really do,
But if you measure me in millimetres I’m only one by two.
Even if I were taller I couldn’t do that,
I’d probably get eaten by a space cat.
To fly to space would be my dream,
But some dreams are not what they seem.
So I guess I’ll have to stay on earth,
Where I’ve been since my birth.

SPIDERS Spiders are creatures
That have many features
A spider is very sweet
Although you might not want to meet
A spider is very strong
Although it is no King Kong
A spider can really bite
Although it doesn’t usually bite
Spiders can move quick
But don’t try and hit them with a stick
A spider eats lots of food
But it doesn’t really change its mood
A spider stays awake all night
That’s why they sometimes give people a fright
You may see spiders in your house
I’ve even seen one chase a mouse

| POOR SPIDERS
There once
was a spider
Who died in apple cider?
He never moved
And never grooved.
One day
the bottle cracked
And his poor head got wacked,
He never cried
And never sighed.
His spider
friend
Named Johnny Bend,
Started to feel an
ache in his head
So he went
to his nice soft bed
What if I
won’t wake up again?
Then he saw it start to rain,
What shall I do?
I can’t die too!

BENNY'S HUNGER As a spider lies and waits,
For an insect to come near,
Last week was last time he ate,
A noise he heard from his ear.
This spider, Benny, is his name,
As he sat, just waiting,
He hadn’t been the same,
This hunger he was hating.
All the bugs, beetles, flies,
Had somehow flown away,
Not a single one he sees through eight eyes,
He had been feeling ill for more than a day.
As he sat in a sticky web still,
He saw a little fly,
So glad he wouldn’t be so ill,
So glad he wouldn’t die.
The fly was peacefully flying,
It hit the web and was trapped,
And then it started dying,
Then with silk it was wrapped.

| A SPIDER THAT LIVES IN PEGS A spider has eight legs,
There’s spider’s living in our pegs.
A spider is near,
I listen with my ear.
I heard a noise,
It was my brother’s toys.
I saw the spider eat a fly,
So it wouldn’t die.
I bent down,
It was brown.
It was very fat,
It looked like a cat.
It had tiny legs,
It lived in the red pegs.
It had a face like a bee,
It stood up so it looked like a tree.

MONEY IS GREAT
There was a spider called Blake
He loved to take a break,
When he works in the day
He still gets a lot of pay.For he bought a large brown
house
But there was also a tiny mouse,
So he chased it away
Because its been there for a day.
When he gets his pay
He goes looking for prey,
Then he went back home
He went past a huge dome.
So he went to climb it
Then he fell down into a pit,
There was a large ugly beast
And he had him for a feast.

SAMMY THE SPIDER One sunny morning Sammy the spider
Sat in his web and had a cider.
He snuggled in his jumper tight.
It had been a very cold night.
Can I have an egg?
I need one I beg.
So he went to the shop
But instead he bought a lollipop.
He sucked on it all day
Until it had all gone away.
The next day he went to the shop
But he didn’t buy a lollipop.
He bought a pair of shoes.
It was very hard to choose.
He decided to go home.
But he saw and bought a garden gnome.

SPIDERS Spiders are creatures
That have many features
I like the type that don’t bite
They’re cool but they can give you a fright
I like what they can do
They’re great as pets for you
They eat harmful insects 
They are easy to suspect
They live all over the world
Their legs can be curled
I see spiders everywhere
I’ve seen nearly 20 spiders there
I wonder why they came
They may not be tame
They aren’t very long
They are very strong!
By Max |
SPIDERS EVERYWHERE Spiders spiders everywhere
Spiders spiders in your hair
You might see a spider chasing a mouse
You might see a spider running around your house.
Spiders sitting in a bunch
You wouldn’t see one in a bowl of punch
They’ll freak you out
Without a doubt.
They really are not a pet
You wouldn’t take one to the vet
You wouldn’t wear one for a hat
I wouldn’t squash one on a mat.
I wouldn’t give one to a cat
Which is sitting on a mat
Nor to a dog
Sitting on a log.
