Friday Fling #274 for March 14th 2014
It’s Barbie’s birthday! She’s getting on a bit,
about 55 now, but still does not look a day over 16.
So we thought, why not celebrate
with a challenge about our favorite toys?
For emphasizing strong feelings, a good format is the Triolet,
because it is short yet has quite a few opportunities to repeat an important line.
According to ShadowPoetry.com,
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).
As an example, here’s one of three Triolets
our then-cohost Michelle King created for the original challenge:
This week the Friday Fling fetes favorite fabricated fun playthings!
Be sure to save time to read
and comment playfully on your fellow Pals’ Triolet tributes.
Then enjoy your weekend playtime!
Welcome to the first of our new two-a-month format Friday Flings. Pull up a favorite childhood toy and see if you can celebrate it with a Triolet. Or just your own favored way.
Here’s one I did for the original challenge, back when Photobucket editor it was still easy to make a good PnP.
Here’s one Bettie did for that challenge two years ago:
TRANSFORMED
Transformers me favorite car I just love
How they transformers into what ever the need be
Get the job done big cars little cars they be transformed
Transformers me favorite car I just love
How they ride fly they do so entice me to be one with the universe
Big red little blue a ride so smooth yet rugged in battle they be
Transformers me favorite car I just love
How they transformers into what ever the need be

TOYS ALL GONE ASTRAY
~^~
I have lots of game board toys
Many I have to put away
I have many toys but I play like the boys
Dolls are also amount these toys
Yet more of them makes a lots of noise
Have none that I can show on this day
Oh where oh where are my many toys
They are all but long gone away

Barbie
She was unusually slim tall not like me
Outfits to please for all seasons
Fancy heels and boots to match them all
She was unusually slim tall not like me
Opposites can make the best friend
We talked and played all day long
She was unusually slim tall not like me
Outfits to please for all seasons
Another one I did for the original 2012 challenge, and another personal favorite to this day, in content and design.
Here’s another one Bettie did for the original challengeon this topic two years ago.
RUBIKS CUBE
The more you play the lost er you get
No one cube is ever the same
Six color to mach the odds
The more you play the lost er you get
Count down see the colors
Nine colors to all four sides
The more you play the lost er you get
No one cube is ever the same
