Concrete Spider Poem by Annabel Cruz
Concrete Spider
Up, up
The smooth and glassy surface of my shower
He crawled
His delicate spindly legs glued, as if by magic
To the slippery wall
Navigating rivers and waterfalls most blissfully
Until a random
splash of water washed him down
Down
Down
Down
Down
Into a huddled mass
Of tangled legs
Twitching, twitching
On the shower floor
Beautiful imagery and minute observation and their use in nicely crafted poem. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
ok.....it's supposed to look like a spider (hence, the title) , but PH won't let me off-set the lines: -(

For the spider to huddle with tangled twitching legs...........? How did that thundering splash come on the itsy -bitsy spider.... Mr Poet? So much about it beneath those written lines, I feel. Thought provoking nicely written poem. Enjoyed.
