    We tread politely,
    careful not to crush a snail
    exploring damp stone.

    against October's chill

    Snails are soooooooo haiku! :-)

    The Present Continuous is a potent device in the right hands, fortunately you have the right hands. Excellent use of juxtaposition, and allowing the reader to make their own decisions as a reader.

    Fine work!

    I love snail poems!

    Yours is suitably open to allow readers to complete it with their own experiences.

    wet start
    even the snail
    stays indoors
