: Snail World 9 by Bill Schott





If I were to a snail a sonnet write,

which spoke, when read, the content of a soul;

how could that writing e'er be understood,

by slug with mind as empty as a hole.


Onto a second stanza I have leapt,

gathering sweet notions for dispatching;

Has it now been a day since I have slept?

It feels like a head cold I am catching.


Yet even though I'm sleep deprived and sickly,

I can compose apostrophes to snails;

they may learn, albeit, not too quickly,

that I can conjure verse for all their tales.


Now if there's some who started reading late,

here's a sonnet, suitable to orate.
