  1. I have a slug trail haiku I never could get right, but then, I didn't think of "slime trail", lol! Makes me miss the west coast. Great one, Don. :)

  2. Oh, My! Don … how our memories come through "glinting"… It's a good thing we can let all the slime fall away…Many thanks, Merrill

    Good use of alliteration/consonance (g and gl). Another haiku with several layers for the close reader to be rewarded.
