CPC POETRY CHALLENGE PREVIEW: The Friday Fling Celebrates Memorial Day in Septolets!
This is a special preview for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge. Poems should be posted there after the challenge opens Thursday evening at 8 PM EDT.
Friday Fling #182 May 25th 2012
Memorial Day is Monday, so this week we are remembering America’s defenders!
Due to the preference for using few words to express deep sentiments, short forms lend themselves well to this topic. We thought this would be a good time to apply the Septolet.
According to ShadowPoetry.com, the Septolet, as the name suggests, is a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words with a break in between the two parts. Both parts deal with the same thought and create a picture.
Soldiers
fought to defend
American liberty,
Sacrificed
to preserve
the freedom
we have today.
This week the Friday Fling remembers the fallen with Memorial Day Septolets!
Be sure to read and comment on your fellow Pals’ productions. Then go enjoy the weekend freedom which America’s defenders have helped preserve for your use!
