Comment from Harry Smith

Excellent

This is a very short poem that has lots and lots of imagery. The poet did an outstanding job with the picture selection which really compliments the poem. Great job with this one.

Ha-you are really outdoing yourself on these little speedsters. One of my favorite series yet. This one is actually quite pretty with its "sun-like" shell.

This is a nice little poem about a snail. It is well structured. I enjoyed the subject matter. A very lightheaded piece.

It must be pretty neat to know that no matter where you go, you are always at home. The problem with that is, how the heck do you get away from the house to just clear your mind? If the house is dirty or messed up, you either have to clean it up or live with the mess like some kind of slob.

I never think of snails as cleaning nuts.

Your plea for sympathy for the snail doesn't make an impression on me. I still won't like them. You try to evoke sympathy for its slow-moving gait, and the fact that he has to endure the conditions in which he was born. I don't hear any snail Ma Joad encouraging him to persevere. Clever verse, though, and excellent rhyme.

You're welcome. I really don't know where the Joads came in, except they were traveling. judi

I think this one is my favorite snail post. It has all the perfectly descriptive things that speak "snail" to me such as "snot for feet" and "always at home." Still I'd rather not have them in my yard.

Thanks, lyenochka. I hear that scarecrow French cooks in your garden are effective.

Wonderfully composed, Bill. AND, I do like the beautiful image. My favorite lines are:
"Always home, though on the move,
In a world he must endure.

This is a cute little poem about the snail. I used to cringe when I would see one that made it into the house when I was little. You used very cute words and great imagery from the art work! Blessings, Teri
