The Friday Fling NOtes, NOvember Starts With NO!
Friday Fling #256 for November 1st 2013
Friday is November first.
November makes us think of many things.
Holidays like Veterans Day
and the bravery and sacrifices of our country’s men in uniform.
Thanksgiving and the bravery and sacrifice
of our country’s founding immigrants, the Pilgrims.
And also the related celebrations,
the parades, feasting and family get togethers.
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving,
the official start of the Christmas shoppiong season.
We have had challenges related to all those here on the Fling.
And we may yet have more!
But this time we’re coming at November from a different tack.
As a word which starts with two little letters
which themselves form a notorious word.
NO.
What does that little word recall most vividly?
Or what does it make you think of?
Continuing the word approach,
how about writing about your “no” experience in a NOnet?
We have attempted this format before, and not that long ago.
As ShadowPoetry.com notes, a Nonet
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
a pirates playground
the ocean is a pirate’s playground
they live their lives upon the sea
battles are fought to the death
the loot is divided
they drink to those lost
set sail again
a pirate’s
life for
me

This week the Friday Fling opens NO-vember
by saying or hearing “NO” in a No-net!
Be sure to save time to read and comment NO-tably
on your fellow Pals’ NO-ted writes.
Then go off and enjoy the first weekend of NO-vember!
Everyone is Halloween partying, or already gone to bed, tired out from entertaining or trick or treating. Are we going to forego the Friday Fling out of consideration for that? NO! Time to pull up a negative and see what NOnsense or NO NOnsense NOnet your muse can conjure.
SAYING YES TO NO
Some say saying no gets you nowhere.
You might be called obstructionist.
You will never get your share
as a negativist.
But you won’t be glad
if it’s a mess.
When it’s bad,
profess
no.

CANT SAY THE WORD
*
Never ever did learn the word have
Try many many times to just say it
It bees right there on me lips
But the words never ever
Come out right not even
Close all kin say
At the most
Maybe
No

NOVEMBER MORN
Nary a single cloud in the sky
on this first November Friday,
simply leaves of red and gold
and a light southern breeze
perfect for daydreams
and having fun
in the sun
today,
YAY!

NEVER SAY (((NO)))
No matter where you go in life or how
old you get there’s always something new to
learn about. After all life is full
of surprises. never give up living
because of little mistakes
no matter how far
you go in
the wrong
direction.
SORRY I WAS ON A ROLL
