Appreciate Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for this prompt #OnRoofs. It got me thinking about the need to get out from under what hangs over us.

metal forest
made obsolete
by satellites
no more pigeons
roosting above us
roofs now glistening
in expectant black
dark surfaces
eating sunlight
skeletal antennae
long forgotten

I suppose it might have helped had I used the right hashtag #onroofs instead of the one I chose! 🙄

Many thanks, Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

You're more likely to fall off a horse than a roof Yeah mate, I suppose you're right. Clarkson said it on his tv show. He's a national treasure, dontcha know. They should make that bloke a bloody knight. Yeah mate, I suppose you're right. They are going to cut down all the trees And plant flowers instead to get more bees. I saw it on the news last night. Yeah mate, I suppose you're right. Did you see Andy scrapping in the pub with Jack? I had to keep quiet cuz of my bad back. If it wasn't for that, I'd've got in on that fight. Yeah mate, I suppose you're right. You ought to go have a look on Yahoo Loads of good stuff on there, and they've got the news too. I reckon it's a top-notch website. Yeah mate, I suppose you're right. I think being a roofer keeps you sane. The altitude lets more stuff get in your brain. I think much better when I'm working at height. Yeah mate, I suppose you're right. You'm a good listener, I like chatting to you. Our Brenda stopped listening in 2002. She says all I do is talk utter shite. Yeah mate, I suppose she's right.
I thought I'd try a #Dansa as suggested by @daveashleypoet.bsky.social for this week's
#promptcombo from
@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social
#OnRoofs
This is an (almost) factual account of some of the conversations I overheard between the two builders who were re-roofing of my house!

Church Roofs “Your church roof keeps out water and prevents the deterioration of your building and its content.” – Church of England official website Not, note, to protect the heads and health of the prayerful. Lead, copper, split slate and nails— all earthly protections arrayed against the literal, heavenly water.
Just a short one for #PromptCombo #OnRoofs - loads on this week. Hope to catch up with others later. Thanks Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

How about roofs in Beowulf?
The arm and shoulder · afterward laid down
By the battle-brave man -- all bloody there together,
Grendel’s riven claw -- under the vaulted roof.

We
danced on the apex;
Did not fall.
We
leaped from rooftop to
rooftop to rooftop -
our wings reflecting
both sun
and
Moon.

Snowstorm outside all is white and light and glistening thunder overhead as the snow breaks free taking the gutters with it
Deadlines, deadlines... urgh! Not much time this morning but can't resist this little poem (based on last week's snow!) for #promptcombo #OnRoofs! Thanks @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for the lovely prompt!

Leave your grand and glorious
Your ostentatious world roof,
Trembling and upthrusting.
I am immovable.
I do not quake.

the Mission by S. Reeson before the heat of noon inside the morning not enough of them awake nobody looks up easier to be obsessed with the petty callings chickens wheat and beer their idea of life as none of them consider here ever as a threat tiles are permanence anything but lofty I am reminded an assassin has her perks freedom better wages and much higher stage still as yet unheard of for a woman to pursue another ceiling breaks as I look down on this town quietly waiting as the target has appeared walking in time as the church bells sound it is time to take his life after Confession the only appropriate retaliation for the same the honour he extracted from my patron's wife this becomes the job of retribution of exorcism this becomes invisible a final price for strife delivered with twin knives righteous from above vengeance's angel never seen again
ALRIGHTY THEN. In an attempt to 'show my working' as to how I write from a standing start, here's the poem for

Ben Nevis First seen from a petrol forecourt as perching on top the next block’s trading estate: it’s not a good look, this mountain’s all slouch, no poised, sky-scratching nib of summit, but a fist of dull clenched crayons, though I can just pick out its small menagerie of pepper-corn birds. There should be more aloof arrogance here for I stand at the foot of the roof of the land, yet this peak is drawn and redrawn behind net-curtain clouds: an unexpected shyness tentatively peeping back and forth.
Hullo @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social and to #promptcombo #onroofs
Love the theme, as great as Fidel’s from last week!
