CPC POETRY CHALLENGE PREVIEW: The Friday Fling Has A Fable-ous Time At The Prom!
This is a Special preview for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge. Poems should be posted there after the challenge begins Thursday evening at 8 PM EDT.
Friday Fling #181 May 18th 2012
May is a month for many wonderful things. One of which is…proms!
So this week let’s go back back back in time to when you went to a prom! You can remember two or three years ago, right?
OK so maybe it was a bit longer ago than that. But it WAS so very memorable! A big date – dressing up – corsage – showing off in front of all your school friends – and dancing!
What did you dance? What was the music and who was playing it? What do you remember most about that prom?
Here’s a chance to show off your memory skill in recollecting, and your poetic skill in recounting your primetime promtime!
Since prom memories can sometimes take on the aura of a fairy tale, we thought it would add more fun to this challenge to have you write your prom poem as a fable! Shadow Poetry simply describes this format as:
A fable is a poetic story composed in verse or prose with a moral summed up at the end.
Of course here on the Fling we are looking for verse rather than prose. But it need not rhyme if you prefer, as long as your prom experience is put in story form and has a moral of some sort at the end. Something you learned or that your prom was an example of.
This week the Friggin Fabulous Friday Fling becomes the Fable-ous Friday Fling writing about dancing At The Prom!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for May 11th
Congratulations Barbara!
