    Trail of the Snail

    I follow line after line
    The sinewy sonorous slime
    Of aqueous shell and limey grime

    Through the cool rooted plants
    Sounding as sugar sifted
    Alien creatures that smother ants
    A flood of sticky honey encripted

    Off they go night and day
    Aimless in the emerald grass
    Jewels of amber, cornucopian brass

    Their shimmering trails of pearly wine
    White and bright in the rays of heat
    Meandering, begrudged of their daftest feat
    Belly-footed Olympiads on a scorching street

    Toddling past as ladies large busted
    Their round calico houses
    Crunching ‘neath morning route buses.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
