This feels bigger than a roof to me...like those moments in life where little ignored fractures quietly become collapse. I’ve seen that kind of slow erosion before, and you captured the creeping inevitability of it perfectly here. Wonderful write with a great use of metaphor, as always, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

OUCH .. that was me trying to emphasise a yell of anguish, this is so close to home it\'s unreal .. I\'ve just had to pay a fortune to get a new roof (Welsh Slate tiles) plus all the oak beams replaced on a barn & outbuildings that house my gym & sauna .. N

Leaks in a roof are nasty. You summed it up in prose like a poetic champion.

A POV is very much dependent on who or what is under that roof. Occasionally decay can be very picturesque; other times - early remediation.
Descriptive write, Soren.

Nicely written, your poem serves to highlight the consequences of ignoring small issues, both in physical structures and in life, prompting us readers to consider the importance of maintenance and care in various aspects.

Once we were the strongest beam, but through time weakness moved in.
Now we wait for the inevitable which we know is just around the corner.
Now, what song will bring the house down quickly.

Love this, Soren. What struck me most was the image of the fruit loosening from the bough once it matures. That quiet transition carries so much meaning…growth, independence, inevitability, even mortality. And the final reminder that it cannot be replaced gives the poem real emotional depth. Wonderfully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Having conquered many a tree in my youth, and been punished by the tree for missing a branch in climbing, I feel you have to congratulate the tree for the indignity it must have felt, but also the little victories it won bringing up the youth of the day sending them into adulthood.

There’s a raw, almost biological honesty in this—growth laid out like weather turning from storm into fruit.
And underneath it all, a quiet sense of irreversibility, like nothing ripens without being changed forever.
