The Friday Fling Fetes Friday With Friolets!
Friday Fling #224 for March 22nd 2013
The Friday Fling has been held on Fridays…since the Friday Fling began. That was 223 Fridays ago.
Since Friday has been our exclusive temporal host since the beginning, we’re beginning to feel a little guilty about not having shown our appreciation of that. So to assuage our guilt and show our appreciation for Friday’s )albeit involuntary) hospitality, we are making Friday the topic of this week’s Fling!
Anything related to Friday! Fish on Friday. Friday’s child. Even his Girl Friday and Sergeant Friday! And of course, end of the workweek Friday!
To fete our favorite weekday, we are suggesting you try writing a Triolet.
As usual we are cribbing from ShadowPoetry.com’s descrption of a format:
A Triolet is a poetic form consisting of only 8 lines. Within a Triolet, the 1st, 4th, and 7th lines repeat, and the 2nd and 8th lines do as well. The rhyme scheme is simple: ABaAabAB, capital letters representing the repeated lines.
Make writing a Triolet more challenging! Make each line 8 syllables in length (4 metrical feet), written in iambic tetrameter (the more common way), or try it in pentameter (English version) where each line only has 10 syllables (5 metrical feet).
My Heart Residing in Thy Chest
In response to Shelly’s, “The Indian Serenade”.
For, break it shall and so it must
My heart residing in thy chest
When placed in care of lover’s trust
For, break it shall and so it must
Passion’s ashes returned to dust
This lonely heart is laid to rest
For, break it shall and so it must
My heart residing in thy chest

We’ve done this format before on another Flingertwo in the past. But this one will be unique because it will be about Friday. In fact that will make it so unique, it will deserve its own name…a Friolet!
This week the Friday Fling Fetes Friday with Friolets! No they are not some new kind of corn chip – those are Frito Lays!
Be sure to save time to read and comment unFrivolously on your Fellow Pals’ Friolet recipes. Then go enjoy the couple of Free days which Follow Friday!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for March 15th
Congratulations Ted!
Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling’s Friday Fete of Friolets! If you read the introduction above that makes sense LOL
Pull up a Triolet and see what your muse makes of pairing it with reflections on Fridays.
Friday is such a special day.
Some ways it’s better than the rest.
It’s promise is: you soon may play.
Friday is such a special day.
Last day before comes Saturday.
By then you know you’ve stood the test.
Friday is such a special day.
Some ways it’s better than the rest.

FRUITFUL FRIDAY

I love these fruitful Fridays best
It means that its pay day
Not that I will git paid
Borrow time um on my own
I love these fruitful Fridays best
Muse control is all I claim
I love these fruitful Friday best
It means that its pay day

A Time For Leisure
~~~
Friday means it’s time for a break
After a long week of hard work
It’s time to lift the feet that ache
Friday means it’s time for a break
Perhaps go fishing at the lake
A sunny day would add some perk
Friday means it’s time for a break
After a long week of hard work
