I don’t usually do poetry. I think you can see why.

I enjoyed your use of “guck” in this piece. I also found it interesting that you chose to have a line break after “goopy and” instead of “goopy and grimy”. Is the break aesthetic or rhythmic or something else?

It’s a little of both. I wanted ‘grimy’ on its own line to match ‘slimy,’ and as it so happened, it set a certain rhythm that I rather liked.

Living on a farm, we are well familiar with the term ‘guck’. It’s one of our favorites.

I like guck; it’s worse than muck.

Way worse. Requires a whole different set of boots. :)

rofl!

The imagery is awesome. And disgusting. I love “guck.” Love the smell. Which is tangible. I can feel everything.

Fantastic! I like that it generates actual physical sensations for you. :)
