I stood on her with my clumsy shoe
of course, totally by accident
becoming numb for a moment
reflecting on my regret
knowing that it’s bad luck to kill a spider
I then started to envision
what sort of day I would now have?
after a very short pause…
I decided
not to over obsess
on the bad luck
I have now brought upon my soul
it was clearly in the hands of karma
but my goodness
I actually had a terrific day.

Spiders are not traditionally bad luck in the USA but I tend to leave them alone......unless they are in my house! Great write by the way, wonderful, in fact!
It\'s bad luck to---- kill ----them, in fact here they eat the mosquitoes so they are loved. Thank you dear Christina. 💖
Although I respect all life and feel it is bad luck to kill anything living I wouldn't let it ruin my day either. An entertaining write Teddy
Yes, here in Italy it is a great importance not to kill a spider. Of course superstitions we all have our own, I don't walk under ladders either. Thank you so much for coming by to these scribblings 💖
Glad you had a good day after killing that spider Teddy. Mary does not like spiders so I have to capture them and let them go free in the garden.
Andy
Awe, I think you have bigger spiders in the UK I remember, ours are small thank goodness but yes superstitions can certainly interfere sometimes. thank you dear Andy 💖
