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
this is q nice and simple piece of writing.spiders in our homes, natural insect control.
I too love shape poetry. To off-set the lines perhaps one could use.~`. Just a thought, even without it this is good. Adeline

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.
