Friday Fling #222 for March\u00a08th 2013<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

In my part of the country at least, this is maple syrup time. Lots of ads for “sugar house” breakfasts and maple sugar and syrup products. So we thought this would be a good theme for this week’s Fling. <\/font>Anything to do with sugar, in the concrete or abstract.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And to sweeten the pot even more, how about doing your syrupy <\/font>write in Acrostic format<\/font>? You know, the one where you have <\/font>a key word or phrase put vertically and then begin each line with the letter on that line<\/font>. Such as:<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

S weet
\nU nderstatement to say your kisses are merely
\nG reat.
\nA more precise adjective would be swoonilicious.
\nR eally!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Any number of words can be on each line, and each line may involve a rhyme or not, as long as the first letter on the line is the correct part of the key word or phrase as they are read down<\/font> (it’s good to highlight them in some way so the reader can easily see what the key word or phrase is).<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling a-muses your March with sweet sugar!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment sweetly on your fellow Pals’ poetic confections. Then go enjoy some sweet time this weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for\u00a0 March 1st<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Congratulations Barbara!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
