The Friday Fling Reminisces About The Year
Friday Fling #264 for December 27th 2013
On this last Friday of 2013,
let’s look back on this year,
and reflect on the most significant developments,
in our own lives, a person or people we know,
our country, or the world as a whole.
No recommended format,
but if you want an extra challenge,
pick a format from the invented formats on ShadowPoetry.com. and try that.

This week the Friday Fling Reminisces about
the most significant developments of 2013!
Be sure to save time to read and comment reflectively
on your fellow Pals’ poetic picks.
Then try to make a significant development happen this last weekend of 2013!
Welcome to the last Friday Fling of 2013! Pull up something that happened that you thought was important in the past year, and a format from the ShadowPoetry.com list, and see what your poetic muse can make of the two!
FROM SHADOWPOETRY.COM: Harrisham Rhyme, created by the female poet, Harrisham Minhas, belonging to the State of Punjab in India, of a six-line rhyming stanza. In this form, the last alphabet of the first word of each line is the first alphabet of the first word of next line.
There is no restriction on the starting alphabet of the first line.
Rhyming scheme : ababab.
THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS
Twenty-thirteen, an odd numbered year,
yet even normal things happened.
There were times when good prospects seemed clear.
Expectations for many were dampened.
Some waited for opportunity to appear.
Everyone felt something by the year’s end.
Harrisham Rhyme Copyright December 26th 2013 RGD
OUT WIT THE OLE IN WIT THE NEW
~_~
The year two thousand thirteen be
Just a rollin on outta here
Make way for two thousand fourteen
What may it bring dunno
Yet just know
Two thousand thirteenth
Was what it waz
Dont know much significant happen
That dint happen the year before
Just that the year waz good
Made it though
Hopely will see new light in two thousand fourteen
Where ole friends have gone
May they all return
Have new attitudes and a nude
May the whole world
See in a new light
And share love peace and happiness
