Picking snails by moonlight
Picking snails by moonlight
Copy moon phases for planting
Waxing and Waning, as tabled in books
Kylo cows caught out by the bright glow
Waned moon now only a sliver, plants slowing down
Gastropods will feed easy tonight after the rain
Moondrops studding dark vegetation
Waxing orb reflects the far off sun producing silver probing light
Catching a further shower
A Moonbow arches the sky with fractured light
Snails on the move again, slime trails matching the moonbeams
Piercing the passing clouds

this is excellent and reminds me (in theme not tone) of one of my favourite passages from 'a scattering' by christopher reid. i'll paste it below.
twists of griddled succulence
tweaked from their shells with a slack
twang of reluctance, chewed,
then chased down with a wine
described on the menu as black.
