Best Snails Poems

Sometimes you see something beautiful
Today it was raindrops on a bin
All lined up, sharing a space with a web
So on the way to school we looked
Finding pretty raindrops
Stunningly adorning cherry blossom
Dreamlike on a skeletal hydrangea
Dangling from railings like chandeliers
The conifers were full of colourful snails...

even as a child i

wanted to visit

The snails met in secret
For their parents were political
Arguing about everything
That never matters to anyone at the moment of death...

Full of froth and delight
He brought filament to my life
When I was uptight
They came to my window
And stayed all night
And it was a beautiful
            Sight
And OH!
What a sight to see
Fore they were only Snails
And...
