Hi Elizabeth, I like the "footle," form and you did it justice. I found it a bit cute ( in a slimmy sort of way)because we all need love. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Love it! As for the platypus it's neither accident nor chance but a created creature. If that were not the case, it would never have survived functional to this day! Thanks for the stop by. / M

Great footle, Elizabeth! And you have constructed the footle in its required format! I've read other footles on soup recently and they are not concocted properly. Best to you as you continue your poetical journey - BoB

I wish they preferred a solitary life and didn't keep reproducing and gorging on my vegetable patch.

I have far too many slugs in my garden, they seem to be prolific in their reproduction!
