Ladybird Haiku

a snail stretching
on the wet lichen –
joggers pass by

polž raztegnjen
na mokrem lubju –
tekač švigne mimo

the snail was in fact quite small, but trying to make itself as big as possible :)

(my own running has reached a stage where snails pass me) :)

i've always liked snails because they were real easy for me to draw :)

the effort is proportional to the creature' nature. I enjoyed both the picture and the haiku.
