The fabulous red kite - broad wings, mighty,
Built to soar, beauteous sight !
Red tail forked, in rooftop flight,
Silently swoops for the fight.

rooftop view, ants far below
Forest, giant trees

a hen flaps her wings
and flies up to the rooftop- -
vet trims her feathers
*inspired by our neighbour's three pet hens and their recently trimmed flight feathers

Rain on rooftop gently pelts and slowly drips;
beneath the gust-battered brenches owls complain...
cooing and lamenting not to make it stay,
unless it tapers.

sounds of gunfire
shatter a warm afternoon...
one more lockdown
gray feral pigeons
scatter from their rooftop nests ...
tomorrow's headline

Rooftop was open,
and I was free,
I slid to edge,
and took the plunge,
Where I reached,
was a rooftop more open,
from where I took another plunge,
and was reborn.

Her Soup name we know as PD
Her REAL name is Linda you see
And Irma as well
Trevino! I yell
From my rooftop...Can’t hear me? (Poor me)
For a very special and loyal friend...

Could I turn
Back the clock
To rooftop summers,
Crimson in their arrogance
And say “watch out for
Tomorrow”?
I would turn the sun
On a needle
And sit, listening

atop dust-covered clapboard
hanging sheets washed virgin white
wind-borne absolution encircled
she sang life's aria
distant sailor smiled

raindrops chatter on the rooftop
mocking this saddened heart
pummeled with the rhythm of woe

I stood on the rooftop ready to jump,
I was tired of taking lump after lump,
so while I prepared to leap
I noticed it was too steep...
can't mess up my hair coiffed like Donald Trump!

11.23pm
Frothy clouds
and floating waves,
On the rooftop
while I stargaze.
11.24pm
Though my heart is
stained with darkness,
That's where you'll find
the brightest stars.

Santa's sleigh crashes to a rooftop.
Down the chimney he goes with a plop.
A woman stands in the nude
She's smiling with a plate of food.
"This Christmas we do it on the tabletop!"

Thou art
So beautiful
This rain,
Pouring down,
From this rooftop, but
Still receiving your light
What angels land,
At this doorstep
Nourishing this sweet home
Lord, you know how to give

I fell asleep,
beneath the trees,
their leaves wept,
as I slept.
I now know,
I will go,
someday it's true,
beneath the moon.
Stars will cry,
I'll say goodnight,
close my eyes,
to a rooftop lullaby.

Sky is running in New York
It is always in movement
Even under immensity
Cocoa yard is dizzy in New York
The crowd rushes by
Even under the rain
Sky is flooding New York
With its blue-grey coat
Even under the boat

On the rooftop high^
My eyes like kaleidoscope§
One face in the sky??
Fear but calm I sit....
The spirit of a dragon
Storms its eyes at me
I don't understand..¿?
..But the mystical forrest????????
And it was no dream...??

luminescent snow
dressed in pewter, tulle, moonshine
chilling the rooftop
as December magic warms
... long shivers of twilight's kiss

Beyond all walls
Midnight sky calls
Wishing star falls
Where dreams come true
Rain on rooftop
Morning dewdrop
Cloudy days stop
Bring skies of blue

The sunshine started becoming dull
The moonlight begins to come,
I was siting on the rooftop
A radiant ,sickle,red,cold body ,
Seen in the sky its like it was
Talking with the sky,..."

If I were a grasshopper
I could jump ten times my length
I am five foot two inches
For me this means, I could jump one hundred feet
I picture myself jumping up to the rooftop
And leaping over two or three buildings
Jumping over the tops of the roofs of skyscrapers

from bank to skill
and labor to love
for sake of pleasure
and from rooftop to tile
my list compiles a pile
as high and long as a miracle mile
from brain to agility
from slum to nobility
I am willing to bet that
pound for pound
I am better by the pound
