Around and Around - a write for Friday Writings

 - Rommy has invited us to use ‘pivot’ (or any variation of the word) in our poetry or prose.  Pivot:  NOUN -- the central point, pin, or shaft on which a mechanism turns or oscillates.  central shaft fulcrumaxis axleswivelpinhub

Ceiling Pivot; Palace Prison 

    Perched way up high 

It's hot up here     

    Ceiling fan my perch 

Can't scratch my nose     

    Sleeping most times 

Sans sleeping pills     

    Hide from the light 

My eyes are trained     

    Turned on at dusk 

Spot intruders     

    'til comes midnight 

They'd best not stay     

    When nights are hot 

Might sweat a lot     

    Ceiling fan goes on

Blades pivoting     

    Cools the air 

I hang on tight     

    Turns round and round  

Blades turning fast     

    Hanging on tight 

Don't dare get down     

    Don't want to fall 

No one to catch     

    Spin 'round the light 

Until it stops     

Note:  This is a four-verse, four-syllable-per-line write.  You can read four ways, down each column separately as single writes, down one way followed by down the second, or across the page, not minding the gap.

 Here we have a view of a ceiling in a bedroom. This was while we toured the Royal Yacht Britannia during our visit to Edinburgh, Scotland. 

 While there we found this pretty stuffed bear riding on top of a ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms. We have no explanation for why it was there.  

Outside there were a few clouds, see the pictures at the bottom.  Our daughter below, KP, was with us for this overseas visit.

 I have previously posted the items below the Note and the Ceiling Fan above on Friday 17, 2008, when I participated in the Sky Watch activity.  That group is still going except I would get sooo many comments that I could not afford the time taken to answer on the other's posts.
