Friday Fling #231 for May 10th 2013
\n <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/strong><\/font> <\/strong>Mother’s Day is this Sunday. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The CPC has several challenges relating to Mothers’ Day coming up this month,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

including the Magic Monday opening Sunday evening. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The Fling likes to challenge you to cover the topic in a format. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A good format for telling a story is the ballad. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The ballad is often in a lyrical style to facilitate being sung. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Your challenge this week is to <\/font>write about one incident you remember where your mother showed you she loved you. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And <\/font>write it as a ballad in this particular lyrical form: iambic (emphasis on every second syllable) <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

8-6-8-6 syllable count.\u00a0 Rhyming pattern can be your choice, ABab, AaBb or ABCb. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

If long enough, a refrain every two stanzas is recommended, number of total stanzas up to you.<\/font><\/strong><\/font> <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling writes ballads about mother love demonstrated!<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment appreciatively on your fellow Pals’ ballads of maternal love. <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Then go enjoy Mother’s Day weekend, showing your appreication for mother in your own way!
\n <\/strong><\/font>
