The Snail

The Snail

A Poem by Sammi
"

Not as it seems, more of a persnal piece

"

The Snail slithers along

Leaving behind its slimey trail

Destroying farmers lettuces

Flowers, spuds.

 

It feels so powerful

Looking back at its aftermath

Laughing and boasting

To it's arse-kissing Slugs.

 

Nothing can stop it

Its in control

Or so it thinks...

 

Down soars a bird

weightless and free

seeing its prey

seizing it between its tallons

throwing it against a rock

watching it fall

breaking its hard shell

revealing the snails

sensitive skin

soft

unprotected

the bird gulps it down

its gone.

 

The destroyer has become the destroyed.
