Friday Fling #208, for November 30th 2012
Short changed: when Expectations fell short – freeform
In these days of rising prices for necessities and luxury items alike, we may tend to feel shortchanged. Literally, in the sense of getting less change back from our purchases.
That got us thinking about other ways you may have felt shortchanged or disappointed in your life, in any circumstance where we built certain expectations, whether based on past experience, promises or simply hope.
Have you had such a sense or feeling, involving a purchase, a trade, a relationship, a conversation, or anything? Here’s a chance to express yourself about it.
So you do not possibly feel shortchanged by our chosen format, you can do your write in any format you choose, or none. Again, a list of possibilities is on ShadowPoetry.com, and you are encouraged to try a form you have never written in before. But you can also just create in your own preferred style.
This week the Friday Fling writes freely about feeling shortchanged by something or someone!
Be sure to save time to read and comment freely on your fellow Pals’ shortchanglings. Then go find good value in your weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for November 23rd
