The Friday Fling Celebrates The Beginning of Autumn!
Friday Fling #147 September 23rd 2011
Friday, September 23rd is the first day of autumn! What does that mean to you?
Thought you would get away easy huh. Well our challenge this week includes writing about the meaning of Fall in a format called the Nove Otto.
A Nove Otto is a poem of nine lines of eight syllables each. The rhyme scheme is aacbbcddc. Here is an example by Vivienne of France:
Oops is a daft French magazine
devoted to celebs’ obscene
posturing and antic bloopers.
Though why we should be riveted
to rubbish like these syndicated
words and photographs by snoopers
defies good sense and has debased,
nay, desecrated all good taste,
turned me into party pooper.

This week the Friday Fling writes Nove Ottos about the meaning of the first day of Fall!
Be sure to save time to read and comment colorfully on your fellow Pals’ autumnal antics. Then go enjoy the first weekend of Fall!
As always should the suggested format not be your favorite poetic season, you may post anything poetic by you on the topic. The important thing is to Be Creative and have some Friggin’ Fabulous Fall Fun!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for September 16th

I did two versions of mine. The poem is the same for both, only the design and title are different. In your comment, please vote for your preference! The winner is the one I’ll keep on my page!
This is from my friend, Sonnets (Lori) thank you so much for your support, my friend! :love:
Autumnal Splendor
Autumnal splendor great delight
Oranges russets in my sight
When nature’s colors do appear
It’s tranquil beauty gives me peace
Delightful colors do not cease
Such loveliness that makes us cheer
Colors stimulating so bright
Enjoyment for my walk just right
I love when Autumn reappears

Thank you so much, Lori!
Changing Season
Finally season’s change is here
The cool crisp air does bring us cheer
Enjoying beauty that is found
Such colorful hues in splendor
Autumn’s a delightful vendor
While Nature’s splendor does abound
Gathering round a campfire near
We’re sad when colors disappear
It’s quality is so profound

TURNING TO GOLD
Leaves of green turning to gold;
the air outside so crisp and bold;
welcoming the first day of fall.
Signs of Autumn seen ev’rywhere;
Mother Nature’s glory to share;
Hearing leaves rustle, Autumn’s call.
Fall is here, I’m happy to say;
summer’s heat has left us today.
Happy Autumn to One and All!

The skeletal trees sigh and moan
Once vibrant colored leaves,withered and blown
The wind whistles an ominous melody
The Autumn season,will not much longer be
Allow me to sing please ,my Autumn elegy,
accompanied by a discordant symphony
I will surely miss,a rose’s last kiss
Together we mourn,the return to an abyss.
The scene is dreary,devoid of my vivid hues
The scarlet sunset,and the sky’s varied blues
I will miss the flowers ,and apples rosy red,
as I hang my tired head,with many teardrops shed.
A smell of bon-fires fills the frosty air
There’s the fun of halloween,and my last chance to share
Rows of pumpkins,sitting side by side
Witches with broomsticks,who are in for a bumpy ride
A season so enjoyed,though not lasting very long
So,with mixed feelings…
Allow me to sing the new season’s symphony *

YELLOW BROWN AND GREEN
Fall had finally arrived
Its still very warm out side
The sun is shinnin bright
Few clouds in the ski
Its a beautiful day
Almost like a summers day
And we have had some hot one
Yellow brown and green
And the pretty color of fall
