'fabulous' slug…that's nice, too. We ignore them mainly because of their unpleasant glutinous feel, but they do a pretty good clearing up job, even if they do get to the coveted mushrooms before you do.
leaf litter
beneath the chestnut trees
slugs munching penny buns
It's always great to see the less glamourous perceived life forms represented in haiku!
slug paths
do they see through
the eyes of God

I love how moist and slimy this poem is: the raindrops, the mushroom, and the fabulous slug are all so keenly perceived! Nicely, done! :)
