The Friday Fling Finds Fresh Formats Fascinating!
Friday Fling #186 June 29th 2012
As we move into the hottest part of the summer of 2012, we’re inclined to want find a cool shady place to just sit and contemplate. These are the times when muses tend to drop their ruses of being too pooped to pop.
So we thought, let’s give yours a chance to pop by challenging him or her to create a poem in a not-so-old format! In fact either in a brand new format which Mr. or Ms. Muse just came up with, or one which various CPC Pals’ muses have created in just the last few years!
Formats like the Aknat, a Tanka with attitude, 7-5-7 7-7 syllables in five luscious lines in two short stanzas! Or the Ukanelle, a Villanelle with three line stanzas made of Ukiahs (7-5-7 syllables)!
And then there is the Ukiah itself, invented by CPC founder Lady “Cheryl” Death in 2007 purely by joyful accident, a Haiku that took a hike and ended up with 7-5-7 instead of 5-7-5 syllables! And don’t forget the Cheryl’s Promenade, a Villanellish thing of 19 lines with the third line in each stanza repeated as a refrain!
But you need not do your any-subject poem in any one of these particular formats. Invent your own and claim the road to Immortality. (Did I include the “t”? Oh good LOL)
So this week the Friday Fling gets’ super-creative with invented formats!
Be sure to read and comment inventively on your fellow Pals’ poetic conjurings. Then go invent a great summer weekend!

UNLOCK THE BRAIN

Being over 100 today heat was felt giggle :love: :love: :love:
Heat We Beat
When you feel the heat coming on
As heat between two
Or heat in temperature
Heat we feel warming within stays
Until cooled down fades
So, when you feel heat coming
Think positive on
Hot temperature think cool
When two stay cool baby stay cool
Rewarding within heat we beat
Love the read here….my creative mind is fuzzzzzzyyyy….but I will return!!!!!! Love the share at the FLING!!!!! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:
Hi Cherie! So nice to see you tonight and you are not alone… my mind has been fuzzzzzzyyyy lately..lol :love:
A Mirrored Aknat Stinker
~~~
I try to be a thinker
But it seems fuzzy
And ends up as a stinker
I hope my muse will return
And get my inking to burn
With creative poetry
Adding fragrant toiletry
Hoping to mask this stinker
With a floral touch
And start using my thinker

LOL 😯 :entertained:
Here’s a triple Ukiah I did back in 2007 when Ukiah was an infant.
Your work comes from inside
in those private places
where deep meanings reside.
What a great privilege
to be able to know
be known from inside out.
Here friendship develops
from inside.to outside;
outside? Superfluous.
OK these are genuine Ukiahs, thought of right out of the box back in the rosy old days of 2007
UKIAH LOVE
I love Ukiahs more than life.
That’s inaccurate.
I love life a little more.
FLYING HIGH
Ukiahs let you fly so high
7 -5 -7
Boeing, going, going, gone!
Going with Michelle’s original Aknat format 7-5-7 7-7 except I think the 7-7 stanza is supposed to rhyme and I rhymed the first stanza instead.
GETTING REAL
When you wish upon a star,
whether in your car,
or standing outside a bar,
When you wish upon a star,
your wish will come true; or not.
