Spider (Poem)

Spider

I saw a little spider
Who built its home inside the sink
Not the best place to settle down
But it thought the place was neat

I nonchalantly felt disgusted
As I turned on Niagara Falls
The water pounded its estate
And it was on full-fledged alarm

It scrambled to its safety
As I watched it from up high
The helpless little spider
I let out a solemn sigh

As I drowned the little spider
And flushed it down the sink
I put myself in its feet
As I began to think

I thought about the spider
How far it came from egg
Its history, its journey
It’s tired and weary legs

To have ended its life so quickly
With ease that I must say
To say I was cruel is strange
And to say I’m not is the same

I killed this little spider
Its life and death in my control
This time I felt a sadness
One I’ve never felt before

Goodbye spider.

Aww David. It makes me feel bad for you and the spider. That has happened before, but I was scared of it and I got it before it got me. I felt bad about it too.

hahaha Love it! Reminds me of when I was sad when I thought that I didn't hug all my stuffed animals equally and they'd be sad.

That reminds me of the time my friend kill one of those big harmless mosquitoes…and I got sad because even though they're extremely scary, they don't hurt you. They're like spiders who eat bad bugs but they don't bite. So I got mad at him…and then he said they don't have a soul. And I was sad.

…Spiders scare me.

crept a creepy spider, in the crepty creep the notion of the egg would only had fallen through the crack of the crick of the crickety floor, a spit of dust would have loosen the legs and developed suction to the body of the spider given life to a web to catch himself after the dew pour. Not any feeling of sorrow,regret or wonder.. the spinder grew and moved some more! When he ended up in the bottomless pit a life span of doom, i knew his role was filled as a spider on the floor.

I felt the same when I really needed to kill an ant or things like that. I just cant.

Wow.. You got me thinking. Instead for me, it's ants.. ;(

Poor spider.
At least David Choi reflected upon his murderous action. haha.
Katia

Great poem… strangely
johnny

awsome poem but kinda sad now that i think about it… weird
Anonymus

Your poem somehow reminds me of my spider story when i was younger. Everytime my bro sees a spider in the sink, he will name the spider after me, flush it with water and announce 'my death'. As i try to recall that incident, i can't help to think how childish we were & how amusing it was

brilliant!
i once wrote a poem about a spider too,
about how i freaked out at first but then started to think it's cute.
Gummiholic

so sad (( poor spider (( at least it'll see the ant I ran over with my spinny chair 3 time -___-
Maya

i see how u feel…i don't usually kill bugs, besides ants and flies cuz i hate them, they always seem to swarm even if there's only three or four….anyway, i don't lik to kill bugs but i do sometimes, but i only hav one rule…i don't kill them if they're outside. The outdoors is their home, if they're in my house, its kinda their fault cuz they shouldn't be there but killing them outside is lik someone coming into ur home and murdering you for no reason…….i know its weird but i came up with the idea when i was a kid since my sister is deadly afraid if bugs and wants all them dead and i guess i just stuck with it. Ur poem is beautiful. wow this comment was long hahah well i love ur music david choi. Ur pretty awesome
mikki

that was a really sweet poem, i think a lot of people can relate to you with that inevitable grief once you acknowledge what you have done.

What a nice poem, you made there. The message of this poem actually describes that in everything you do in every step that you make always think of some consequences. before you do something think of what may be the result of it. Thanks for posting this beautiful poem.
Jessie =)
