Bathroom Tiles

by N J Thornton   May 6, 2007


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.

** The inspiration from this came when I noticed a spider crawling across the tiles when I was in the shower. It made me wonder...Interpret this how you like.

    You set the stage for something far more then you let your reader see. I think that was the only down fall to this poem. But it was a grand opening statement.

    I also feel this way:

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

    An very thoughtprovoking poem as always Silver. I have to say tahts why i love reading your poems. There really different from any others i read. Ok well the poem as a whole was quite short, yet again the secound and thirds stanza makes the reader think. You make the reader want to be in your mind, know hwat your acctually thinking. The first stanza was quite to the point. Its osmething that loads of people do, scream at spiders. Hmm... well considering what you wrote at the end, as well as what you wrote in the poem, im thinking that the spider may acctually know that someone might scream, yet it still walks past. Its brave in that sense. Anyways i liked your punctuation usage in this poem. It really makes people think. Keep writing! xx
