I've gone through a great many and now just replay the ones I like.

Tricubes: Poetic Forms What are tricubes? How do I write a tricube? Do you have any tricube example poems? You've come to the right (and write) place to learn the rules of this mathematical form.

thanks Paul. I'm going to see if I can carry on this week doing a poem till Friday in differing forms... Tomorrow I am going to try the very limiting Tricube.

I'm a month early with this but was feeling festive

yeah seen so many friendships bust apart over just some stupid fight and crossed words.. Im fairly easy going and try not to get to riled up

I've shut my head in cupboards because I've forgot it was still in there... and slammed the door on my head....

This has happened more than once

I find them really tough to be honest. I keep on trying to get them flowing a bit, madrigals and sonnets are easy in comparrison

hard. relevant. gaslight. i tried to explain why it hurt, and you said it wasn’t relevant. that was the moment the gaslight flickered. hard to pretend i didn’t see it.

I just pretend.. really its an act and honestly a nickname of mine from a Canadian friend was not Beelzebub... which they shortened to bob... I'm not that fellow anymore.. very sedate. Honest. really sedate.... completely

in just a few lines you have done a great social commentary on addiction, poverty and mental health. Jeez Paul, you are upping the bar a bit mate!

The Roof He needs a hit, so on the roof of the ex bank, ex post office needs to break in sees somebody spot him so he changes his mind shouts I will kill myself. Ambulances and police talk him down.

Thank you @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for last week's stormer. All are welcome to contribute to this week's. I am the host. Please use hashtags ##promptcombo #OnRoofs and tag me @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

#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!

Jen that is cracking poem and a great dansa. Really made me chuckle..

Steve the penguin thought it was sublime (though personally I think he has been at the thesaurus again)

Steve says OI OI!!! (keeps thinking he is a London Barrow Boy.. silly fricking penguin)

My monday
mood, #irate,
yet I #gashlight
myself with
false delight,
hanging #festive
baubles over
my feelings

happy face time,
hide the #hard line
of pursed lips,
a mad #dash,
a scramble
for cheerfulness
before another
groundhog day
at the office

bah humbug
to all of this.

unravel the past
see what was hidden away
Now treasure hunting

#vss365 ‘ers you are fabulous-yesterdays writing was bang on relevant, which leads on nicely to asking, is my goal relevant…

Is it worthwhile to me? Is it indeed my goal, or has it been forced upon me by someone else?
