A metal slug barrier with a physical overhang they can't climb around, sunk a good amount down into the ground, works wonders for me. I make sure not to trap slugs inside, check soil before setting up. Best installed in spring before planting.

Are poets allowed to have so much fun on a #TopTweetTuesday? Thank you @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social for staging the playground. Did you know that AI is Apollo's fault? *Note: "Ketchup effect": when little happens for a long time, then way too much very fast.
Cassandra's Curséd Ketchup

Her last vermillion knell: a beast unleashed
to spread the muses' lover's curse, reversed.


Glutinous shoves of electrons 
piped into hermetic abacists:

nectar of stirred agents that divine
us from ritual zeros and ones.

They tempt, 
rage, pray at the beckon of a tap.

Click-clacked incantations 
augur shade in lightless night.

We lap the stains 
of make-believe,

concoct with relish
our canned pantheon.

Avenged at last? Let slip
what will

be the final drop.

For the theme #prophecy on #TopTweetTuesday, here’s my poem ‘Burning Sage’. I seem to be on a roll with witchy/wise woman poems at the moment! 🖤🧙‍♀️🖤 Thank you to @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social for hosting. #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoets #skypoets #poetsofbluesky #witch

Hullo @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and to glorious #fragmentsfriday
Barely Seeing
November, Watergate Bay, Cornwall


Day has blown its bulb
to fully fill with fog;
clouds all fallen,
helpless,
puffing on their backs.

Breakup

I carry a dead 
volcano in my pocket

solid-shocked broach

turn-worn, geology fits
in my fist

Spring weather on this #fragmentsfriday ❄️🔆 Hope you're having a good day, @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social community
It Snowed Again

Cream fondant coating
weds spring-candied branches.
A towering revelry

destined

to ebb, devoured 
in the burning

loss.

Holocene Park

Meteor-lashed, black rain 
rasped world 
ran out 
of horizons. 
They scanted; we crack
breakfast today.

Fasten your binoculars
The crampons of your soul

Thorn-fingered grief
Tracks dawn's hide

Check the color of fire

Thank you, @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social for the smashing #fragmentsfriday! Gets one writing, even about AI :) @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social
Honey, the horses became glue 

Hallucinate loops
That power 
I think, he said
About horses
About freedom 
Yoke the weight
On other shoulders

Poems Are Too Deathing

Scytheful of scorn
Lukelimp blub
Bonsai chainsaw clip
Norning knaves
Sightless slight
