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.

Richard Lamoureux December 4, 2019 at 7:57 AM 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) poemtheart poemtheart December 6, 2019 at 1:50 AM Thanks so much for your thoughts on this.
