Aiona,
This poem is short but uses sound and imagery well to describe stepping on a slug and its slime after rain (not reign). I like the internal rhyme in the last line.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Thanks, Halfree. :) These contests force me to use few words. Normally I'm quite garrulous. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hah hah hah... I've done that before. The worse time was when my granddaughter's were with me and they tried to help the little guy but half of his body was gone. Good job.

Another fine poem, Aiona--ah, memories of lazy summer day and stepping on one of those slimy bastards--no matter how much you washed it off, you had a hell of a time getting all of it!

Yes, a very unpleasant surprise, squashing a bug under foot.
Interesting rhyme pattern. In your descriptor line, I believe you mean 'rain', not 'reign', right?
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee

LOL! I wondered if someone would notice that. I initially made a typo, but then I changed it back to "reign" cuz yeah, the slugs rule my garden. :( Thanks for the review.

I bet you weren't as mortified as the slug on which you slid. I remember treading on a frog once in the dark, I don't know whether i was mor mortified because of the squish thing or because I had killed the poor little chap.

Ew! Yeah.... I stepped on a frog once, also. I didn't know they could scream, until that point. I think it lived. The scream alerted me, and he was such a big fella, I was able to not step on him all the way. Thanks for the review!
