The Friday Fling Celebrates the CPC!
Friday Fling #162 January 6th 2012
Ths week we thought we’d turn BACK the clock on the new year and reprise the CPC Friday Fling challenge mounted on New Year’s Day 2010. Which was: what does the CPC mean to you? What’s it all about, Alfie? What were the most memorable challenges or writes, for you or one you read? What do you get out of participating?
A good format for celebrating anything is the Ode. An Ode is simply any poem which expresses positive feelings for something.
This week the Friday Fling starts off the New Year celebrating the CPC with poems of Ode Lang Syne!
Be sure to save time to read and comment un-Ode-iously about your fellow Pals’ poetry. Then go enjoy the first full weekend of the New Year!
In case your muse needs a jump start in this cold weather, here’s a few posts we swiped from the old CPC MySpace profile page, many from the Fling challenge in 2010, including the Finger winner of that challenge, by Mindy, and one by the CPC founder, Lady “Cheryl” Death.

Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling! Tonight and tomorrow as you can see, we are celebrating ourselves and our favorite poetry site’s past with poetic tributes to the CPC! Let your muse wax thoughtful as it always does here and see what it whispers in an Ode mode!
Unfortunately both Michelle K my cohost and Lady “Cheryl” Death the CPC founder are under the weather and won’t be here tonight and perhaps not even tomorrow. But I will. Pull up a stanaza and join the party!
Certainly a lot of wonderful reasons to celebrate. Congratulations and Giant Hugs to Mary Margaret!
Great blog! Don’t really have anything left in me after my day today, but just wanted to stop in and say hello and leave a heart. Will try to get around tomorrow if I can. :love: :love:
Congratulations Mary !!!! Big Huggins Now :love: :love: :love: :love:
Not same picture that went wit write could not bring …
I’M NOT SUER WHAT THIS IS
Whatever this is, it all makes sense to me
There will come a time for her to pay
And pay she will but not today
I’m right along with you and do agree
And then there were only three
Maybe it’s time to shave off that goatee
All alone and feeling frisky
I’m feeling all smiley and giggly
Tossed to the hurricane I’m set free
no more ghosts,oh llucky me
Free to be me you see
You say it sooo sweetly
I’m yours completely
Lazy hazy days spent gathering seashells
and thank heavens,nothing went pell-mell!
Where you can feel the breeze
without the effects of a knothead sleeze!
In situ with you was boring, until we set the firm ablaze
That stuff smells like fish
I don’t care , I’ll still give it a kiss
Like a day without undies
Ooo
Don’t want that stuff, that looks like the poo on my list
I have to get away from you Achoo!!
Boo!
Stuck like glue baby wipes undo
Now a fresh smelling woo woo:)
color me various shades of blue
Love you I do

This is for the CPC Friday Fling Ode Challenge
http://www.friendburst.com/blog/77689/friday-fling-celebrates-cpc/
I apologize up front for not strictly adhering to the classical rules for Pindaric or Horatian ode formats. I tried to construct a classical ode but that is not where my muse agreed I should go… (she can be that way when she wants me to talk about her!)
An Ode to a girl
(strophe)
I want to be- all for you,
to hold you close to touch you,
to see what’s in your eyes.
The adornment— softly you.
(antistrophe)
But being as i am,
Never will i show, do, be –
for the manifestation is greater in my fear than in reality.
(caesura en paus)
Maybe a lullaby for you –
(epode)
so you drift away to sleep,
Maybe in my dreams I can do it…..
Maybe in your dreams
I’ll do it,
for in your dreams—
I might be real.
(thank you to our host and hostess Scotorum and Michelle)

Ode to a Friend LilC and My other Friends close to Me in The CpC family
And My friend Logan this beautiful song for us beauties.. love you!!!
Making me smile
TO THE ART OF SHARING
Every once in a while,
(sometimes it happens that way),
you stumble upon something
that brightens your day,
a place so comfortable
that you stop by every day
to share some smiles
and some laughter,
some sadness
and some tears,
through words
and song
and art,
a place for sharing
in so many different ways.
And thanks to a friend
who knew such a place,
I’m here today
and celebrating with you.
Thank you, CPC,
a place where I can
stop by every day
and share a word
or two
or three,
a smile,
a hi and how are you,
an encouraging word.
A place where you are
blessed by what you hear,
by what you see.
A place where you can dream out loud,
a place where you can stretch,
a place where you can take small steps,
without falling flat on your face,
a place where you can grow.
Every once in a while,
you find such a place,
and when you do,
you definitely know.
And I have found
that place right here.
Thank you, Lady Cheryl,
and each of the friends
that I’ve been blessed with here.

My try at this CPC Triple Crown Challenge
BEYOND THE HORIZON
Beyond the horizon
DECEND
A blue INDIGO
That GLOW
Brightly in the ski
Was it heavens doors
That had just open up
Are just the SHADOW
Shinning against the waters
But still
I thought I felt a SPIRIT pass me by
I saw it FLOAT in mid air
Beyond the horizon
Are was it just a DREAM that I had
Could have been
For I was wide awake
As I was it change colors from
SANGUINE to color of blood it would seem
Ruddy look it was
I was PRECARIOUS to ask another
Did they see what I thought I saw but was
In fear that they may think
That I had lost my mine
WANTON
An immoral woman it vanish
Right before my eyes
Could really see just what I thought I did see
Beyond the horizon
