Written for: dVerse Poets Pub – Quadrille #108 – Among the Brambles
(posted by Linda Lee Lyberg). ‘Use the word ‘bramble’ in a 44-word quadrille.’
Squatting, sliding
from one group of weeds
to next, spraying
white vinegar, twisting,
and pulling. Most
eventually yield, except
one. Sad to say I do
not see these leaves
are covered in brambles.
Race into the house,
scratches like hatches.
Next time, longer gloves.

Yeah I’ve got one like that in my garden – I’ve tried snippers, mower, and hoicking on it – and it’s still there, thorns always find me out. (I may have to move. 🙂)

If it’s not paying you rent, kick it out!

So curious about why you were spraying white vinegar. Yet another use for it?
LikeLike
Absolutely. It makes the weeds wilt, so they are easier to cut.

Ha.. new trick every day. Thaks.

There is something about those tiny thorns that sometimes hurt more than big ones.

I like scratches like hatches. Makes me think of hatching in drawing, criss-crossing to get a 3D effect.
