Excellent presentation. The poem is very well written with lots of imagery. The picture selection really complimented the poem. I enjoyed the read.

Hahahaha, a sonnet to a snail! Now I've seen it all, hehe. No wonder that you are sleep deprived. I wish I could come up with some intelligent review about the poetic form, but I don't know much about it. Loved what I read though. All the best. Ulla:)))

Nice work with word reversal to make it read as iambic pentameter in stanza one. Meter seems a little off in two. But then I'm not one to judge. IT's HARD! It took me eight hours to compose my one and only attempt at this, and I still didn't get it right. Your form is right with situation, solution, and couplet at the end. I found it quite funny and could relate to the sleep deprivation and headaches.

Thanks, Shari. I figured the lack of sleep would account for writing a sonnet to snails.

I've seen it all now. A sonnet to a snail. I think any snail would be proud to have this dedicated to him/her.

Maybe you should get some rest if you're sleep deprived, or the snails will outrun you.

This is a great poem with a wonderful rhyming scheme and excellent word choice. I like what you have to say and how you say it. You have clearly been working hard on writing and it shows. I enjoyed reading it and following along with every line.

Lol. Well executed sonnet about writing a sonnet to a snail. I guess a meta-sonnet of sorts. I am sure in their very limited way, they would appreciate your poetic gesture!

What an adorable little snail that is. Where did he ever get that cute shell?

I'd say this snail in cheek sonnet is written is perfect form for the snails at heart. I'm actually quite enjoying this book, Bill.

great job,

Gloria

I like it. It made me smile when I finished it. Very simple (in a great way) and made me feel very peaceful. I see that you're a retired teacher, is teaching snails anything like teaching high school students? Great work!

Snails have more of a glimmer in their eyes.
