I don't know the first thing about poetry, but it's always nice to read rhyming poems for me, not the biggest fan of free verse, which more resembles prose to me. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a story poem fan in the vein of 'The Shooting of Dangerous Dan McGrew. Hope your writing is going good.

Thank you so much for the heads up about "The Shooting of Dangerous Dan McGrew." Naturally, my curious nature sent me to search it out. Now that's poetry that takes me along and doesn't keep me guessing throughout every verse. Thank you so much. And who says old dogs can't learn new tricks. Or at least to read and enjoy them. Much appreciated!

This is the first poem I have read about snails and they deserve a poem. "Toting heavy mobile home on back" is a perfect line that puts the reader in the snail's point of view. You have a vivid use of words that takes the reader to a place of nature.

I thank you for myself, and the snails. It was fun to research and organize into rhyme. Good luck with your own writing.

This is a very interesting poem. Gotta say, I didn't know snails were used as fish bait. But, why not, they are insects too, I guess.
Good alternating rhyme scheme. I think will appeal to those with gardens, and all the plant references will help.
Smart entry.

Glad you like it and thanks for the nice rating. I understand the conch is widely liked by fish, as it is by humans.
Comment from Rachelle Allen
Wow! What a cool slant on these creatures as you give us an up-close-and-personal account! I especially love the "toting heavy mobile home on back" line! That was great - very visual and artistic way to perceive the simple snail!
Best of luck to you in the Rhyming Poetry Contest!! xoxoxo

An excellent entry for the Rhyming Poetry Contest. Good meter and rhyme in this poem as well as descriptive imagery. I used to think snails were disgusting creatures but over the years have come to appreciate them and find them to be pretty cool. Good luck in the contest.

This poem, A Gaggle of Gastropods, presented with four ABAB-rhymed quatrains, touches on some types of slimers in their elements, from the sea to the garden.
