A shot of high rise buildings including one in he middle which is false perspective and looks as if it exists in a different dimension to the others.
By the way if you read this can you please comment so I know I’m not just wasting my time!

before "hungry" turns into "hangry": grab a bite at Northern Soul Grilled Cheese in #Manchester

definitely one of Rufus' #favouriteplaces to be 🤤
maybe you can spot him "sticking" at the bar?

Good morning Sunny ones. After yesterday’s downpour I went for one of my favourite walks. This gorgeous lane makes me feel like I’m in olden times.
Been so wiped out last few days, if you have energy to spare please send some my way.

A scared spring well lies between Glastonbury Tor and Chalice Hill, UK. 

Glastonbury Tor has a rich and varied history, spanning from the Neolithic period to the present day. It's a significant site for both Pagan and Christian beliefs and is known for its spiritual energy and connections to legends like King Arthur and the Isle of Avalon. 

Archaeological evidence and historical records reveal a long history of occupation and religious practice on the Tor, including evidence of early Christian churches and monastic settlement.

A small monastic settlement, perhaps a Celtic monastery, is thought to have existed on the Tor around the 10th century, with archaeological evidence including the top of a Celtic cross. 

Glastonbury Tor is associated with the legends of King Arthur and the Isle of Avalon, where he was said to be taken for healing after being wounded.

Chalice Well - Glastonbury

Gate to spirit world,
blood red waters keep divine,
dark spring heals with light.

Malham Cove Speaks

Aged 14, geography Malham trip
dry stone wall settles on the ground 
strengthens 
itself tightens up, from harsh Millstone grit
talk to softer Limestone tongue, our words then

underwater diving a new world, breathe easier massive edge dried waterfall 
walk to Tarn,  not Barnsley Tarn, Malham scree,
buildings rare, no pubs, no roads, red brick small

terraces here, only water. Water 
word gaps clints/grykes, pavement lacking lamp posts, 
bins, Zebra crossings. Water work
under
ground, hidden rivers ghosts of stone talk most

in me as memory and history. 
I take this language back as part of me.

Bittern

A Mired-romble, Bog-bull. Thunder-Pumper,
rises out of this marsh desolation, lifts
quiet wings as I fumble camera,
zoom into your disappearance gifts.
Then we wait for your next quick appearance,
or bombleth in the myre, bull boom, wind throb.
cavity of waiting a resonance,
hold head in hands, for this flash bird to rob
us again a snap its magnificence.
Professionals clamp long lenses birdhide
inside sills , note points of your emergence,
draw lines of your flight, seemingly slow glide
into camouflage, as if reeds are clouds.
You a rare moon lifts this long day from shrouds

Llanwrthwl Common, Mid Wales 



The half-hearted track
has almost given up.
I am above the empty valley,
beyond the retired drystone wall
now an unhurried
deluge 
of moss and rock,
beyond the bleached skeleton
of a tree
so weathered,
it seems inverted: 
a jagged fan of root-bone.

The sag of hillside
draws me,
this natural parabolic dish 
so softly contoured,
the mountain 
could be deflating;
a sheepless incline scabbed with blood-gorse 
partly blotting 
its coarse blanket
of ochre stems.

All around,
clouds trail their shadows like a child’s coat,
but on this slope
up close,
their touch seems more certain,
a rush of fingers across a familiar
undulating Braille.
Whatever is learnt  
is shared as hirsute murmurs  
across the rippling
scrub.

It’s late 
but I wait for the scars of dusk
to heal,
for when the clouds begin
their burlesque
around the brazen and 
nearly naked
constellations.

Play Brimham Rocks

1972 small hands hang inside pale 
blue Ford Anglia window bottom, eye
hurried mares' tails flick sky as sharp waist coated, worsted jacketed grandad drives 

over sandy side road my bare shorted
legs dangle over Tartan picnic blanket
car seat cover. Let loose, clambered weathered
Millstone rock to rock, small hands grabbed, feet lept,

themselves in youth, adventure dark hollows, 
Spiderman up gust sculpted smooth climbs till
shouts call down for milky tea whose steam flows 
from opened blue flask carefully spills

into a white plastic cup. Crisps, sarnies, coleslaw, one last clamber, beddie byes.

Outfall

raw grain of reservoired dip slope streams harped 
between millstones into the one gully
River Dove once driving coal mines,  glass sharp
works and chemical works, quarries, foundries, 

boat-building, nail-making factories, mills
for paper and bobbins and gunpowder, 
weaving sheds, iron smelter lost in spills
of water moving on now quieter

by heritage information boards, half
pit wheels sunk in earth, all tourist traps,
all is never still, life moves beneath earth
and water's poisoned industrial past.

Woodland skylarked and willow warblered,
Daced and Barbeled, swirls and ripples, rivered.

@dragonslayerma.bsky.social This is a superb prelude to this week's #promptcombo. As someone who grew up close to the North Sea, wild seas and coastlines are among #FavouritePlaces that resonate with me on a fundamental level too. There's an etymological link between #sea & #soul. 👏💫

a poem entitled ... a scrimshaw tower

where basalt digits claw
at time's tide foaming
always in retreat
a lighthouse barnacled and bleak
turned inwards 
sweeps the land for any glimmer of true light
a restless finger (pointing out
the faults in culture's landscape
weather manicured by strange beliefs
or sentimental drift)
curled tightly round blame's trigger
poised on metamorphic grief
for brief eruption

a lonely rock, but still
i wrest my battered case
from interference 

until a new depression
sweeps in from the west
and strong storms surge 
to flood blue sky with stark 
electric ink

By Bolton On Dearne

decided outside the community.
Mining subsidence dropped these fields below
the water table into wetlands, free,
river expands beyond its banks so

wheatear, yellow wagtail, winter whooper swans, and duck join heron, snipe, redshank, 
lapwing, tufted duck and bittern boomer.
River recalls Benedictine boats, monks

from Monk Bretton Priory tend their ponds
of fish here. Ebenezer's corn law rhymes
roil words into writers roll who respond
to this river's voices McMillan time.

See effect of outside/inside control
on the cost of life that takes its high toll.
