Spiders.
I’m afraid of them.
I see them.
I kill them.
One night,
I turned the lights on.
A big black spider
Scampered in the ceiling.
I walked in slowly
And afraid
As the spider ambled
To the corner.
There it stayed
Away from harm.
And for the first time,
I didn’t want to kill it.
I wanted to be like it.
I wanted to find
I wanted to be
In a corner of my own.
I have always saved spiders and safely put them outside if I think that is where they need to be. But they sure are great for getting rid of other insects, some of which are very troublesome. I have never been bitten by a spider, so really don’t fear them. Most of them don’t want to be bothered with us humans.

Learning from a spider to stay in one’s own corner is more than just knowing and learning that spiders are creative. This one gave me hope and warning.

I’m scared of spiders too. But no, I can’t kill them either. I just run away and hope it goes somewhere. 😂
