Good picture and poem. I don't like spiders , they are scarey, creepy little insects!...M

Great description of the spider-crushing, William. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

fortunately, you're still in one piece :)

Wonderful and very different penning.
"Surprised" now I couldn't help but smile at this one William
Although the spider mommy perished must say I would have had to rid myself of that nasty thing too. Thoroughly enjoyed the way you assimilated your poetic words filled with many visuals. Fantastic pic too.

William are those the actual spiders that were on the floor?
Hope you are doing well my friend,

(((SEMPER FI)))

Been there, many years ago, had that happen to me. I never regretted killing a spider more than at the moment I saw all those babies rushing to find sanctuary from the beast who killed their mother. I liked this version better.

Such a cute and messy write all at the same time...but very enjoyable...Love and hugs, Bonnie

I loved this...

I think they can sense us before we see them! Mostly I just give them there space, and they give me mind. I can stand to kill them!

usually they surprise us, when I see them I let them go on their way, they eat other unwelcomed bugs

Having had a similiar experience with a Trap Door spider I understand the panic. Your poem has given everyone the creep crawlies. They do however serve a purpose in that they kill more bugs than birds do. They only live for about a year and 99% of them are harmeless. They're more afraid of you than you are of them. Since "spider lings scattered in every direction" she most probably was looking for a place to nest to lay her eggs. There are organic based barrier sprays you can use around windows and doors that will keep any out of your house. Sorry to take up space rambling but I believe everything has a purpose and have a problem killing a housefly.

Holy Hannah, William, if that ever happened to me
I'd have died of fright!Well done;-)

Both, I'd say: ewwwww. Spiders absolutely creep me out. *shudders* Thanks. If I have nightmares tonight, I'm blaming YOU, William. Well done.

Spiders are full of surprises, be very careful, which ones you try to stomp!

As for my brother Matlack, don't tell him, but I'm sending him a nice box!!

Good spider tale William...

Loved your light poem, William.
Much peace, love, and light,

I leave them alone as long as they go about their business but if they are black they are dead.
