Slugs make me recoil
But if they don homes of shell
I love a dear snail.

Word for November 30, 2025: #HOME

The poem is from 1984 (originally 1982, I believe, as I first drafted it in high school). The border, however, took me all afternoon to figure out how to get the tiling and layer to cooperate.

Maybe not the breakfast sandwich the Universe wants me to be, but it is quite cozy. It feels rather New England to me, but that's because I'm using my Grandma's dishes for the oatmeal and toast.

Horror Writing Prompt no. 2014: catastrophe

Craft a terrifying tale inspired by the prompt and share your work with #horrorprompt.

Perhaps this is cheating, since it isn't from the deep archive, but it's what I heard in my head when I read the prompt:

No, it does need the last line. And it also needed the two lines before that flipped.

I'll post an actual haiku later...

This poem was already drafted and was asking to be tidied up a bit, and volunteered itself for the subject of the prompt.

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Alrighty. It's not as fancy, but this is what I did. I think I'm going to ask the wedding stylist to do this, but to add the cute tendrils that Zenyip did.

I have a very grumpy profile--I need to unlearn that somehow...

Look! My boo-boo wants to be in a horror flick!

Don't worry... it's literally just a scratch and has been cleaned up and bandaged.
