Tanka for the House Centipede I Found in My Shower
Ghastly little creep,
hairy horde of eyelash legs
waving ‘round the tub,
guess I’ll spare you ‘cause I know
you eat far nastier bugs.

Like the twist at the end, Chelsie; you’re actually putting yourself in the centipede’s 100 shows.
“hairy horde of eyelash legs” is just delightful. As is this poem.
Delightful!
Love:
hairy horde of eyelash legs
and lol, good decision:
I’ll spare you ‘cause I know
you eat far nastier bugs.
I think the “eyelash legs” are also part of why you spared him
So well done – the ghastly beginning drew me in!
