Fletched

Neville

Fletched

 

Nock

them up

Mark

them well

Draw

them close

Loose

them high

Free

and aching

for

the sky …

        EE-BAH-GUM Fletch were a grand old fellah and deadly absolutely deadly at 100yds with his catapault until his mam wanted her knickers elastic back. Worra lad. But youre right, it wor with bow an arrah where he wor lethal. Robin 'ood weren't innit when Fletch let one loose, especially after he'd had a curry.
        Straight and true, just like your words this day.

          Cupid's darts always hit where they wish to cause most damage methinks - - a smile for these well-covered lines of clever intrigue...........x

            Ask Orchi why he told King Harold to look up in 1066?

              ................................................. Eye think we all know the answer to that one ... 🙂

            • orchidee

              I mucked it all up on that day in 1066. If only I hadn't turned up!

              • Neville



                ... Eye .. the world would be quite a different place, maybe ... perhaps, try not to blame your self too much ... sometimes you just got to let go 🙂

                • orchidee

                  But I said the fateful words to Harold 'Look up, Sir' (or Sire for 1066 language). The rest is history, literally. lol.

                  brilliantly executed my friend
                  indeed, there is nothing as penetratingly impactful
                  as humanity's complexly divisive: commonality
                  worded, so accessibly relatable..
                  'cause fetching and firing, ain't ever been our problem
                  its the simple fact
                  that we never allow ourselves the rationality
                  of assuming we, like most around us
                  will miss
                  more than we hit, and so
                  each painful stab of those missed
                  dreams and aspirations, we collide with
                  in our everyday interactions, impact us
                  much more than they should
                  then we add our obliviousness
                  to life's happenstance, toxic cocktail mix
                  ignoring the suffering
                  our own missed arrows, help create...
                  'Free
                  and aching
                  for
                  the sky …'
                  indeed! simultaneously, all at once
                  no inch or quarter given,
                  no wonder we see more satellite dishes, than stars
                  in that bleakness of nightly, realisations...
