Poem Featured at Vox Populi

Posted on October 21, 2017 by robert okaji

My poem “Snails” is featured on Vox Populi, one of my favorite sites to visit. Vox Populi’s mix and quality of poetry, politics and culture astounds me.

Congrats, again!

Heliciculture, it would seem, IS very much like harvesting poetic dust from the cosmos. Every time interact with one of these little garden variety wonders, I wax poetic, too.

Lots to ruminate on in this one! Bravo!

Thanks for the tip. I’d never bookmarked Vox Populi. Now I have. I may adopt “Snails” as my anthem since I gave away all my furniture, car, stuff last year, and now carry my house on my back as an intermittently employed hitchhiker in central Europe. The “intricacies of harvesting slime” may indeed be in my future. And soon!

  Hi, Gary. I’ve become too much the hermit to lead your “snail’s life.” Good luck with the slime!
