Black Widow

Black widow
hiding beneath the twilight of her room.
Spinning her web of deceit,
she utters a silent laugh,
echoing in the darkest corners of the day.
She weaves her pattern
of cunning ideals,
Knitting her dreadful story
of birth and death.

She hums a sombre melody,
strumming the devil's mandolin.
Her lonesome eyes stir
voices from the grave,
The lines of sin etched
right onto her face.
As she rocks her chair silently,
Her aching heart waits impatiently
for night to arrive.

not the best at puntiuation but I think the first letter of every line needs to be caped

I liked it! :) Great description. There's just one point that didn't seem to flow quite as well.

Her lonesome eyes stir
voices from the grave,


I really like this part:

Knitting her dreadful story
of birth and death.



"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
— Terry Pratchett, Discworld: Equal Rites
