The Friday Fling Favors Weekend Faves In Saturday-Sunday Sonnets!
Friday Fling #227 for April 12th 2013
The Friday Fling has always tried to kick off your weekend with something worthwhile, with both some sort of inspiring topic and a format learning experience.
So this week we thought we’d suggest you write about your weekend! What is a favorite thing(s) to do on your weekends? What great experience(s) have you had on your weekends?
Since you may have more than just a little bit to say about such, we’re suggesting you write in a Kyrielle Sonnet about your weekend wonder(s).
According to ShadowPoetry.com,
A Kyrielle Sonnet consists of 14 lines (three rhyming quatrain stanzas and a non-rhyming couplet). Just like the traditional Kyrielle poem, the Kyrielle Sonnet also has a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last line of each stanza). Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet consists of only eight syllables. French poetry forms have a tendency to link back to the beginning of the poem, so common practice is to use the first and last line of the first quatrain as the ending couplet. This would also re-enforce the refrain within the poem. Therefore, a good rhyming scheme for a Kyrielle Sonnet would be:
AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
Here is an example of one I once wrote for a Saturday Share:
Birthwrong
a Cheryl’s Pals’ Collab
by Scotorum
Born with a big slaphappy grin,
With a soul clean of mortal sin,
He arrived backwards, last his mind,
Blindsiding sideways from behind.
He came out sideways, had to bend,
Lucky the portal would wide extend.
A birth which soon became enshrined,
Blindsiding sideways from behind.
Due to his weird waving wally,
He came out diagonally.
Once outside, new talent to find,
Blindsiding sideways from behind.
Born with a big slaphappy grin,
Blindsiding sideways from behind.

This week the Friday Fling Creates Kyrielle Sonnets about our weekend favorite(s)!
Be sure to save time to read and comment favorably on your fellow Pals’ Saturday-Sunday Sonnets.
Then if possible, go enjoy what you just wrote about!

WEEKEND BLEND
Sometimes the week had a weak end,
making more attractive the weekend.
One raised by two and yet two for one.
Looking forward to some liesure fun
Perhaps a Saturday shopping spree,
or dinner and a current movie.
All week hosting young grandson.
Looking forward to some liesure fun.
Free to choose those personal times.
Challenges and a few wicked rhymes.
Some Sundays to a show I run.
Looking forward to some trading fun.
Sometimes the week had a weak end.
Looking forward to some liesure fun.

WEEKEND WONDERS
*^*
I set my soul of to the dream lanes
Plans for free weekend bring my mind aflight
Sun shine and memories drip so lovely light
Blue skies above tune to ease the pain
I set myself high as to relax past the reign
Thoughts poppin in my head so bright
To have the legends right in my sight
Life of imagery so pumpin in my vein
*^*
As if I had written it all on blank pages
I watch all things that had wings to fly
I am always soul seekin to last core
Releasin all of my pain and my achey rage
Yet still all my blood drip dry tears I cry
Dreams of places and things times before
*^*

Oh my tired old brain hope this gains giggle 😯 :groovy: 😆
Dancing on Saturday was fun
Meeting friends sharing warmth as sun
Making each one of our weekends
Had more fun as weekend extends
Knowing all would meet up again
Joining at the restaurant no gin
Now ex boyfriends ex girlfriends mend
Had more fun as weekend extends
Pecan waffles, steaks and eggs win
The strongest black coffee kept us from sin
Encouraging to drink as friends
Had more fun as weekend extends
Dancing on Saturday was fun
Had more fun as weekend extends
As always……the CPC adds a smile to my weekend!!!!! Love the writes everyone!!!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
Congratulations, Barbara on the Fickle Finger award! :love:
Free Time
~~~
Shopping, yard work, then catching up
While I fill up my coffee cup
To enjoy some fun and some rhyme
And look forward to online time
~~~
Treasuring a moment to rest
And read each writing from the best
From love to even darkest crime
And look forward to online time
~~~
Creativity is found here
In the cyber world atmosphere
Where writers progressively climb
And look forward to online time
~~~
Shopping, yard work, then catching up
And look forward to online time

WEEKEND FUN AND FIDDLE STRINGS
Leaving the busy week behind
for grandkids, fun and fiddle strings;
time with them always on my mind,
weekends spent with fam’ly and friends.
Lots of sunshine and clear blue skies,
sometimes even an ocean breeze;
always an end-of-week surprise,
weekends spent with fam’ly and friends.
Tomorrow we’ll go fly a kite,
go to lunch and then to the beach;
and back at home some words I’ll write,
weekends spent with fam’ly and friends.
By Sunday night I’ll need some sleep,
tuckered out from all the fun,
but ready for a brand new week,
weekends spent with fam’ly and friends.
