I lean back in my chair Sit and stare WHAT WAS THAT! Something catches my eye I jolt back in fear, then just sigh I look at the spider, the root of anxiety The critter creeping and crawling ever so quietly I watch and sit still It waits on the window sill Instinct inside says to end its existence But value for life does not offer compliance Though it is the source of caution and fear I cannot help but stay near And so I sit and stare Lean back in my chair WHAT WAS THAT! The spider catches my eye I jolt back in fear, then just sigh

The Spider
I lean back in my chair Sit and stare WHAT WAS THAT! Something catches my eye I jolt back in fear, then just sigh I look at the spider, the root of anxiety The critter creeping and crawling ever so quietly I watch and sit still It waits on the window sill Instinct inside says to end its existence But value for life does not offer compliance Though it is the source of caution and fear I cannot help but stay near And so I sit and stare Lean back in my chair WHAT WAS THAT! The spider catches my eye I jolt back in fear, then just sigh
A poem I quickly wrote as I stared at a spider on my wall. WAIT! Now it's moving!
