This is one of my latest poems inspired by a fellow performer at an Open Mic that I regularly visit. His name is Kris and plays classical guitar.

I’ll let the poem tell the rest of the story.

A Spider Poem
© Garth Dutton, 2010

Each Wednesday night
I sing at the Daniel O’Connell pub
at North Adelaide.
Recently, I was on second.
Kris, the lad who plays
classical and flamenco guitar,
was on first.
I thought his complicated finger work
was eversomuch like
a huntsman spider
running up and down
the fretboard.
