Friday Fling #233 for May 24th 2013<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do you smell that? \u00a0What IS it? Well for one thing, it’s this week’s Fling topic. \u00a0Odors. What are your favorites, or your least favorites? <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Since odors are mostly naturally occurring, I naturally thought of the nature format, the Haiku. A three line poem of 5-7-5 syllables<\/font>. \u00a0Such as:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


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

I love Spring odors. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Flower blossoms everywhere. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Lovely perfumed air.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


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

Or if you want to write humorously about odors, how about the five line Limerick, where the rhymescheme is AaBba and the syllable count varies roughly 9-9-6-6-9<\/font>? Such as this one I just wrote for this challenge:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


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

Bunky the skunk was an odorous lunk <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

whose smell repelled bats out of Hell. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Never smelt his own first, <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

but what was even worse, <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

he complained of the stink of Chanel! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling smells something in the air in Haikus and Limericks! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment fragrantly on your fellow Pals’ olfactory Poetic commentaries. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Then go take a whiff of your weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


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

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for\u00a0 May 17th<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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