The CPC Friday Fling Celebrates Liberty!
This is a Special preview for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge. Poems should be posted there when the challenge opens Thursday at 9 PM EDT.
Friday Fling #135 July 1st 2011
July 4th, the traditional Independence Day celebration of the United States of America, is Monday. It’s a special one, because it’s also the 125th birthday of the Statue of Liberty. Back in 1986, that was a very big deal.
There was a huge ceremony in New York, and people were excited for months. We want to try to recreate a bit of that here on the Fling.
The Acrostic format lends itself well to writing about single idea words like Liberty and Freedom. It’s a simple format of variable length, no particular rhyme or syllable scheme. The only requirement is that the first letter of each line should read as a word or phrase when you read it down from the top to the bottom of the poem!
This week the Friday Fling celebrates the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty and what it represents!
Be sure to save time to read and comment ceremoniously on your fellow Pals’ Acrosticals. Then go celebrate this monumental Independence Day and Statue of Liberty weekend!
