Snail Haiku

frost shivers the grass

on the doormat, a snail leaves

a gift of silver

I must thank Audrey for telling me this evening how wonderful your work is, Eiken. She was right and this is an outstanding haiku. I'll be looking for your work in the future. Best wishes, Carolyn

Hi. So observant. We collect snails and bring them to my cousin for her ducks, ( we get eggs in return). Once again you excel. Eamon
