Fresh spaghetti worms


"Who will eat today
of my steaming dish
of terebellidae

"My whitish, bluish, greenish,
subclass sedentaria
pulled smooth from sand-

"-&-mucus tubes
found fresh last night
beneath the coral reefs

"O
transparentto translucentto!
- delicious worms for you?"

  5. Liked the mixture of languages which added to the sounds; and the stanza break at 'sand-': brilliant!

  6. Thanks Gordon. I quite like spaghetti vongole - that's Italian with mussels and olive oil as you probably know.

  8. Hello CC,
    Mucus tubes are as we know the source of a popular delicacy - particularly with children.
    Best wishes!
