Jill and Lucille
Jill and Lucille are two very hungry slugs
They often dine out at their local garden food hubs.
Lettuce, flowers, fruits, sunflowers and beans
These are a few choices from these veggie canteens.
Some clues are noticed from a gardeners view
Slugs are not clever, they often leave one big clue.
Slime trails are generally very clear to see
When

Glutton of Cost
eating again, glutton of cost
he crawled to embrace
the concept of everything, all
hugged to a chest spilling,
kissing vacuous stomach
slid up the slender flesh,
saliva made slugs
a viscous downpour of greed
it could only emanate from he
the glutton of cost
he gnawed at the presence of
all that is near
nothing was sacred in
the space placed between his ears
it is capsized

Death By 5 In the Kitchen
Death by 5… in the Kitchen
or, A Bottle Garden No One Expected
Perched on an oak table, there rests an opulent and ornate glass bijou bottle,
a growing collection of nature’s organic jade.
But hidden below the green finery, concealed from a mushroom nursery,
there develops a frightful opalescence enclave.
A clutch of ravenous slugs of horror are

Even Slugs Need Hugs - Nursery Rhyme
It seems I was stuffed with some wool and some foam
And then I was sent to this ‘in between’ home
My purpose is now to give heartstrings a tug
Alas that’s not easy… because I’m a slug
I feel like I’ve been here forever and ever
For I don’t recall being sewn together
I didn’t get long to hang out

Slimy Slugs
there once was a slimy slug
but was quite a handsome bug
always left a gooey trail
and always did prevail
to get girl slug bug hugs

Dream Series: My Vegetable Garden
Last night I dreamed I was weeding my vegetable garden in the Drive-in theater, while people wandered back and forth from snack bar to their cars.
While pulling weeds, I saw a banana slug and was about to squish it when I realized it had legs. It was an eight foot monitor lizard! I chased it

Slugs Have 4 Noses
.
slugs have four noses or so it is said
and a pig cannot see the blue sky overhead
.
birds cannot pee and worms eat their own poo
and a crocodile can’t poke it’s tongue out at you
.
Kangaroos cannot jump if you lift up their tail
and a small child could swim through the veins of a whale

Slugs Have Four Noses
Slugs have four noses
or so it is said
and a pig cannot see
the blue sky overhead
Tigers have striped skin
and rabbits can’t sweat
you can’t lick your elbow
you’ll try though I’ll bet
Birds cannot pee and
worms eat their own poo
and a crocodile can’t
poke it’s tongue out at you
Kangaroos cannot jump
if you lift

Slugs Under a Log
At one time along
this path there set
a log stump, used it for
resting spot many times.
Today it was gone,
rolled down a hill I see,
went to fetch stump,
someone else has use for it,
family of slugs,
have taken over my
chair, they need it
worse than I do,
for slugs under a log.

Salting the Slugs
We hoard years, putting other faces
in place of the one
filling the mirror, the slug-like
double chin thing of us
that comes out at night
and then stays in blazing sun.
How silently we tiptoe
with those concealed cylinders
of salt cocked and ready
to fall, to pour that
sweet white rain so soundlessly
onto the slug of us
as we wallow
in our waspishness, twist
in a
