The Friday Fling Goes Out In The Noonday Sun With Nonets!
Friday Fling #235 for June 7th 2013
Partly because they rhyme, June has long conjured up music and poetry having to do with the moon and moonlight.
But the month is also associated with the beginning of summer and sunshiny days.
So our theme this week is noon. Something that happened on or the qualities of noontime.
A format which us wordplay-loving hosts might associate with high noon is…the Nonet.
We featured this format not that long ago, but we’re doing it again because, well a Noon Nonet just sounds fun.
A Nonet, according to ShadowPoetry.com,
has nine lines.
The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables,
the third line seven syllables, etc… until line nine finishes with one syllable.
It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional.
line 1 – 9 syllables
line 2 – 8 syllables
line 3 – 7 syllables
line 4 – 6 syllables
line 5 – 5 syllables
line 6 – 4 syllables
line 7 – 3 syllables
line 8 – 2 syllables
line 9 – 1 syllables
For instance, this example from the ShadowPoetry.com explanation of the format:
Midnight’s Breath
It came sweetly upon midnight’s breath,
that turned seasons from white to green,
and brought the pre-dawn sparrows
to chirp a merry tune…
nestled securely
on, around, and
in-between
Springtime’s
warmth.

Only mad dogs and Englishmen go
out in the noonday sun, they say..
That sums it up for me too.
Although half Englishman
myself, I shun the sun.
It’s too bright and hot.
A little is
okay, but
not too
much.

High Noon with Gary Cooper was tense,.
Bad guys were coming into town
he was the sheriff pledged to
protect the citizens.
The bad guys wanted
to kill him. he
had no help.
gunfight.
End.

NOON IN THE MIST
*
When the full of the moon turns noon
Many numbers click as they spin
Dont stop the clickin of time
Count down till noon is here
Oh the high noon clear
So let it be
Misty moon
Time at
Noon
Noon
At time
Misty moon
Let it be so
Oh clear noon on the high
Here is noon till count down
Spin as they click numbers many
Moon turns noon when the full of it

Lunch Time
~~~
At the stroke of noon it’s time to break
My tummy grumbles for a steak
But it’s salad on my plate
Of leaf and romaine greens
And a glass of milk
Then an apple
Time to
Eat
~~~

Rising with the sun as dawn meets day,
I’m so thankful for each sunbeam
El Sol shares and shines my way,
golden nectar leading
to his noontime throne,
where shining down
on us all,
he smiles
BIG.
