Eat your leafy greens.
Don't worry.  Take it slow. 
Go when it's time to go.
That's what a snail says,
and a snail should know.

Outside with my water pail
stands a guilty looking snail,
and a half-eaten poinsettia.
You know, dear snail,
I'm going to get ya.

Mighty Snail

i once knew a slimy snail
who had a great big fat tail
he had a mighty push
from his enormous tush
speeding down his gooey trail

The Snail

I was clean shaven when I
spotted a snail going by
I watched for a while
as he went half a mile
now my beard's reaching down to my thigh

The Humble, Brown Snail

Consider the humble, brown snail
He's only a head and a tail
No fingers or toes
Yet, there it goes!
Just follow its shiny, bright trail.

a snail
on the move?
almost motionless...
to nowhere,
mocking time.

How exultantly I hale
the grey wolf, the snowshoe hare, 
and the ferocious grizzly bear. 
I raise a glass of ale
to Coopers Rockymountain snail.

Trump has smeared our Snail Mail with slime
Insisting it is not a crime
Ballots need inspection
To win an election
And Biden may die with more time!

A gentleman opened his mail,
When out jumped a sprightly young snail.
"I'm glad to be out,"
He said with a shout,
"I thought I was in a white whale."

Premium Member Snail Shell Relativity

A snail makes his home inside a shell.
"My home", I say, "is a living hell".
 A snail without a shell's a slug.
"I guess, my home's not so bad", I shrug.

Untitled #179 / "it's a Snail"

“It’s a snail, crept up on
by a spider, mutating into a
porcupine, being eaten by a jellyfish!”
What a work of art!
I apologize, mere words cannot describe it!

Premium Member Snail Crawl

Often.
Sometimes.
I retract.
I crawl.
Like the snail
softly back within
Those circuitous silent depths
of my hollow shell.

Sometimes
The light be too bright.

Snail

Snail's sticky tongue feet
                                              climb gently the Taro leaves
                                                make path clean and slick

The slimy snail

The snail slowly slithered from the wet grass
Crossed the cracked concrete sidewalk 
leaving a silky slimy slender trail of mucus
carrying a shatterable shell as its shield.

Amorous Snail

I shivered an amorous snail
                                          climbing up intrepid a leg wall
                                          light years ahead before I sleep

Snail

Each morning without fail,
I see my little,brown-shelled snail,
Plodding along with his home on his back,
Leaving a long, tiny, silver track,
I think he likes blazing a trail.
Form: Limerick

Graveyard

humid trail of life
over dry words and numbers -

Premium Member Rabbit Helps Snail

Snail Todd was to be married at noon.
He got lost, following the remnants of the moon.
I guess I could help out, a rabbit said to a baboon.
He gave him a lift, and got him there by noon.

Snail

Wait a minute.
Pay tribute to cinnamon snail
Eaten by hungry Tim before baking
Here lies Tim's mother as well
Who could not part herself with other half
rolled back to her son's inner chamber.

Sail With Frail Small Snail

would sail with small snail
she seemed so foolish while frail
who left a long trail

blew up a big gail
without fail breath would smell stale
singing song to scale

entail
pale
prevail

Premium Member Ode To Elderly Snail Man

Elderly snail man with a wrinkled body and face
You are aging out fast, without delicacy or grace
Your eyes are squinty now as if they are full of mace.
At least the old women in the complex no longer give chase.

Premium Member Caribbean Snail

Ah, you painted the snail! I said, in an ignorant way.
No, she replied. She was born like that in the Caribbean.
But I am not used to snails from anywhere other than Canada Bay.
So I think maybe you are fibb-E-in.
