This poem explores the complex relationship between humans and creatures often deemed as insignificant or repulsive. Through the speaker's encounter with a cockroach in their bathroom,

It is a part of cleaning. Sorry to say this. God also does the same with us. The poet leaves it to our own judgment.

Very true, every creature has a right to live yet when they encroach our space (so called we own it and do not want others to come near/ live) we kill them for this very silly reason. Excellent Poem.

Yet though with slipper I may smite, Your doom I morally deplore... From cellar gloom to stellar space Let bards and beetles have their place. wow kinda makes the death of a cockroach cosmic, best cockroach poem I have ever read :)

Very realistic and experience of all. Optly brought down as a poem.

What drivel! As if you could write a poem about such a revolting, dirty creature. M. Walker.

One of my favorite poets showing his great sense of humor.

A lovely narrative piece, well articulated and penned with conviction.

It simple but deep.. I am also a killer roach :) Now I feel sorry.I feel guilty But to depend myself roach scared me So i spank with my slipper and kill roach to death. Lol.. Nice one

Nicely written and very deep

From cellar gloom to stellar space Let bards and beetles have their place Well how is this peaceful co-existence possible is the big question. Thought-provoking poem.

I love Robert William Service, he never disappoints with his philosophical views of life and the world
