Short Poems About Life

Slug – Free Verse Poem

That slippery slime,

That crawls out of damp places,

In the sorrowful night,

It wishes to find a home,

A home of vegetables is like a dream,

If it was a dream like no wonder any slug likes one,

When they crawl out in the day light,

In the garden full of vegetables,

Their dream becomes one.

For some a small dream is a big dream. I like this perspective. If I eat my vegetables I might be denying a Slug it’s dream home. ;0)
