Friday Fling #254 October 18th 2013
As the weather gets cooler and the landscape looks bleaker,
joys which remain available become more important.
This is when things like comfort food become more valuable.
What is comfort food? You know. Anything that gives you something special!
This week we’re challengeing you to creatively express yours, and what they do for you.
As a further challenge, we suggest you try writing your comfort food ode in a format known as a Rictameter.
This format requires nine lines of escalating and then decreasing numbers of syllables thus:
2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2.
One additional requirement is that the first and last lines should be the same word!
Here’s an example Michelle and I collaborated on a few days ago for this challenge:
Gravy,
Mashed potatoes
Beside a turkey leg.
Some dressing on the other side.
Thanksgiving dinner known for comfort food.
Satisfies me and warms me up
On a cold holiday.
Seconds on the
Gravy!

This week the Friday Fling celebrates comfort food in Rictameter!
Be sure to save time to read and comment comfortingly on your fellow Pals’ poetic preferences.
Then go find some of your very own favorite comfort food this weekend!
Hey time for comfort food 2013! We’re enjoying getting poetically satisfied! Pull up a meatloaf and see where your muse spreads the gravy!
Wonderfully comfy indeed. :love: :love: :love: Just posted a Wonderful Wednesday piece and may never get caught up. Will ponder this and add to my to-do list. :love: :love: :love:
MY COMFORT FOOD

Cakes ice cream chocolates chip and dips
Spaghetti and meat balls fish chicken steaks if you will
My comfort is to be full

My main post on the original challenge.
At times like these I occasionally take my comfort in liquid form:
Respite
Brandy
at fireside:
a dandy finale
for yet another well-worn day –
used shoes recused in a closet corner.
It seems the time just steals away,
to prompt tomorrow’s fight;
’til then, I say –
good night.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
~
Fruit
Comfort food
Beat of all other healthier too
Eat all you want good for the body
An apple a day keeps the doctors away
Are so they say
Mix it drink it put in a pie
Eat till your full
Fruit
