Bathroom Tiles

Last night, I met a spider
who I hadn’t screamed at before.

There was something intriguing
in the way she scurried across
the bathroom tiles that made me wonder…

I wish I had the courage of that spider;
Imagine what I could accomplish.

Author notes

The second of my two weird poems of the night.

This one was inspired by the little spider that shared the shower with me the other day. It was interesting to say the least as I didn't take my eyes off it the entire time.
Interpret this one how ever you please.

    You have more than the courage of that spider - just think what you can accompplish! LOL cute write, easy to read and understand. With our intelligence we can really do whatever we think we can - there is really nothing that stands in our way except fear. Without that fear we can accomplish much. And you are scared of a little spider! LOL

    Its almost humorous, to me, because I can imagine you ready to scream at the spider in the bathroom, with your body tense and what not, haha.. This is a very thought provoking poem based on the spider's strength.

    Hmmm...not so sure what your spider was experiencing was so much courage as it was just a will to live...We all have this built in mechanism that allows for our survival instincts to help us survive in moments of peril...You are as strong as this spider...Thanks for penning such a thoughtful piece...I always enjoy your writing...peace and light, Kendal

    I don't think it's a weird poem as I like spiders and inspiration can come from any place, any object at any time. I'm not sure that spiders have courage, they just end up in the worng places sometimes, but I enjoyed reading this anyway.

    As a last note i'd say if you can imagine anything, then you can accomplish it if you try. Thanks for sharing this poem.
