Year 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. Click here for their poems.

    SPIDERS

    Creepy, crawly, hairy things,
    That will live among your rings
    And when you go on a hike
    They are something you won’t like

    They will live all through the trees
    And will even eat the bees
    You might get caught in their web
    But at least it’s not an ebb

    Spiders can be brown or black
    And will possibly bite your back
    Well at least it’s not a glider
    That’s because it is a spider

     

    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!

    by Stevie

    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.

    By Cassie

    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

    By Chris G.

    SPIDERS

    Spiders do bite
    But they don’t like to fight
    I saw one in a tree
    It had caught a flea

    I saw a spider in my house
    It was chasing a mouse
    It ran very quick
    I hit it with a stick

    It was almost dead
    I hit in the leg
    I hit again
    It was in so much pain

    I found it again
    In a pig pen
    And then
    It was The End

    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.

    By Rachel

    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.

    By Kaitlin

    DOWN IN THE MUD

    here was a spider
    Whose name was Hider
    She was so neat and tidy
    Because her friend was Hidey

    Every single day she uses tweezers
    And she does what ever she pleases
    She even picks her nose
    Well I do suppose

    One day Hidey pushed Hider in the mud
    She even said ‘, you are a little bud’
    Hidey started to feel bad
    Hider started to feel sad

    How about I stop being boss
    And you stop eating moss
    Why don’t you come to my house
    And we can play with my mouse

    By Aymie

    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.

    SKINNY LARRY

    Skinny Larry went to Paree.
    With his spider friend Harry.
    When they met they had a bet.
    They set a trap with a net.

    They caught a snake.
    Ate it like Flake.
    It took them a year.

    To eat its ear.

    That night.
    They had a fight.
    It wasn’t nice.
    For some mice.

    Harry made a home.
    On this small gnome.
    Larry went back.
    To his small shack.

    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.
