A Spider's Story

Nice poetry.

Life is pure and simplest.

get eaten or eat.

Procreate,

Everything is well laid out for these divine acts.

' Ain't it the truth!!! HaHa, this made me lol...

The quest of life: Freedom indeed! Excellent work!

Love it!!! Made me chuckle. So brilliant. Thank you for honoring spiders so beautifully.

I appreciate your empathetic nature for living insects. I feel the same way.

You and Bev. She won't let me kill them. I have to catch them and put them outside. Now I don't want to kill them. See what you spider-lovers have done to me! :)

We all want to live, the spiders too. Creatures of God but am too creeped out by them.

Well said. I can relate and empathize. I have respect for all living things, but have mixed feelings when it comes to spiders and snakes, most especially inside my house. Outside – live and let live. Inside – enter at your own peril. No snakes allowed inside, but small spiders can be useful and beneficial when combating other insects in the household. So, I'm also guilty of allowing a few spiders to survive and thrive in my home. ~D

Hi Audrey - Yes, but they can do it outside.

Ain't no way I'm going to let spiders dwell in my house if I can help it. The other night I was sitting here writing poetry on hubpages and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was an enormous spider. It was just shy the size of a tarantula. I couldn't get out of my recliner fast enough to kill it. He skittered under the stove. I live in a 400 sq ft park model trailer so no matter where I am he's too close. Two nights later I saw him running across the floor heading for under the stove again. My shoe got him good.

Maybe I'll write a poem about it. You've inspired me Audrey :)

Audrey, your poetry should be published. Such talent as yours is a rare thing; intrinsic beauty that causes us to pause, relish and to think. Beautiful work.

Most creative Audrey. I see your muses are doing well on inspiration. I too am slowly moving through the poetry challenge.
