Stormy winds and skies of grey
and on the road a wriggly worm
I saw distress I saw it squirm
I picked it up and gently threw
It far into the early dew
I saved a worm today.

Good write and pic M. I do the same with snails, usually seen on damp days, trying to cross their 'road' - the pavement!
Oh lo, I'm on about book-worms today.
Snails? Don't you eat them? Miss Berles does.
Worms are so important I see many no them on the croquet lawn and I too pick them up and put them in the long grass.

'Boy to boy, "How is it that collect so many worms for fishing?" "Well I get my younger brother to collect them and let him eat every tenth worm he collects" '
I saw in a recent nature programme that without worms there would be no us - they are a vital part of natures cycle.
You've got to love a worm really. There should be a national love a worm day. Well done for saving a life M
Made me feel good - AND I got a complimemt from a lady passing by - not bad for 7.30 in the morning.t
I saw a worm yesterday, at least i thought i did. What on earth it was doing in the Gents toilet i'll never know.
Well saved that man. Worms are rare around here for the whole area is heavy clay soil. Spiders we have by the truck load... little black ones all over the garden. They don't come indoors.
A kid in my junior school used to eat worms... yuk.
Did the one in the Gents have rings rounfd it?
Never eaten one but if food supplies get low thanks to
coronavirus who knows?
Well done! You're galloping on into the 900's now - number of poems posted on here! Miss Berles will keep an eye on syllables for us still.
You got any iambic pentameters? Are they well-behaved? What do you feed them? (Are they dogs?!) lol.
So I am - thanks for letting me know - must keep the ink flowing - I keep the IPs in a small cage and feed them on colons - Miss Berles approves.
Dear Michael. - you are person after my own heart - a saver of worms is high on my friend-list - lovely read.
I am so flattered - to be on a friend list is praise indeed -
