..
they may look
like slugs with shells,
…….but they breathe best in rain.
observe
the significant progress
of these tiny philosophers slowly pondering
……a blade,
the trajectory of breeze,
…………………the day.

Funny how I like snails and find slugs . . . well . . . disgusting. I like to think of them as little philosophers. Fun!
Ha ha ha. You crack me up!!!
Those little snails are so cute! I had one climbing my glass door the other day! 🙂
Oooh, this is excellent. Loved that you picked a snail for this one. >
Snails do look like slugs with shells. Never thought about them being not what they seem. Great.
What a life! But what a drag to carry that shell around. I suppose they are made for it 🙂

Wonderful concept of snails as philosophers. Lovely gentle poem.
