This is a special reprised edition, of Fling #144 from 2011.
Yes we were too lazy this week to create a new one.
BTW I’m pretty certain the poster below for this challenge was created by Lady “Cheryl” Death herself.
Friday Fling #247 August 30th 2013
Friday another Labor Day weekend begins.
Every year we have one.
You’ve lived through a few of them.
What do you associate with them, or what do they mean to you?
What do you like to do over the Labor Day weekend?
Try to express it in a Musette,
a special invented format recommended by Michelle K.
Here’s the description of it from ShadowPoetry.com:
The Musette, created by Emily Romano is a poem that consists of three verses of three lines each.
The first lines have two syllables; the second lines have four syllables, and the third lines have two syllables.
The rhyme scheme is a/b/a for the first verse; c/d/c for the second verse, and e/f/e for the third verse.
The title should reflect the poem’s content.
Small But Refined
Good news –
A visit from
The Muse!
A glimpse,
Nothing prolonged,
Then gone!
Wee verse –
Thanks to the Muse,
It’s terse!
