Friday Fling #250 September 20th 2013
Sunday, September 22nd 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!
