CPC POETRY CHALLENGE PREVIEW: The Friday Fling Goes Sugaring!
Friday Fling #222 for March 8th 2013
In my part of the country at least, this is maple syrup time. Lots of ads for “sugar house” breakfasts and maple sugar and syrup products. So we thought this would be a good theme for this week’s Fling. Anything to do with sugar, in the concrete or abstract.
And to sweeten the pot even more, how about doing your syrupy write in Acrostic format? You know, the one where you have a key word or phrase put vertically and then begin each line with the letter on that line. Such as:
S weet
U nderstatement to say your kisses are merely
G reat.
A more precise adjective would be swoonilicious.
R eally!
Any number of words can be on each line, and each line may involve a rhyme or not, as long as the first letter on the line is the correct part of the key word or phrase as they are read down (it’s good to highlight them in some way so the reader can easily see what the key word or phrase is).
This week the Friday Fling a-muses your March with sweet sugar!
Be sure to save time to read and comment sweetly on your fellow Pals’ poetic confections. Then go enjoy some sweet time this weekend!
