An Act Of Self-Defense Comments

looks like the fright of the mightier wins...lovely narrated...a subject everybody can relate to....10

Great analogy of life!

OMG, you killed the spider... poor thing! ...10 Best wishes, Sabrina.

Hmm interesting concept indeed. The imagery your words have painted shows one who has a fear of spiders and without warning encounters one. Of course, it is huge (to the eye of the beholder) , and with its fangs flashing, it sends out a message that you are next. Without any more thought, you take action, and put an end to the hairy eight legged beast. This is well expressive and has a reasonably good flow in it. The rhythmn and rhyme though do not continue through the whole poem, but with a bit of a tweak I am sure you will be able to enhance it to even higher heights. Thanks for sharing, and many blessings to you

The itsy bitsy spider had a different outcome in this one. LOL! Poor thing should have never tried your patience!

Shame poor little spider... well written though

a point well made... excellent

Awesome poem. It had me at the edge on my seat wondering what you were going to do in the end. :)

simple linesbut with an meaningful objective, kudos sameer, thanks tara

My son, 'the act of self defence'is allowed in every religion. People are killing the HUMANITY in this century behaving like beasts.You are too sensitive, have a tender heart., I am sure you were making tea, this was a difficult moment for you to kill it, .I can only pray to GOD, 'May HE protect you from the brutelness of this world.' Nicely expressed the whole incident......mom.

You describe beautifully with sharp observer's eye the small event as you do when sew a wound, it would be scarless later. Yes self-defense is legal in all laws, you're not sinful.

Beautiful verses, usually we kill insects but dont think these are living creatures........You are too sensitive....amazingly have written your feelings of killing an insect...may be a spider. Am i right? You made a point anyway!
