Friday Fling #235 for June 7th\u00a0 2013<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n <\/strong><\/font>
\n Partly because they rhyme, June has long conjured up music and poetry having to do with the moon and moonlight. <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

But the month is also associated with the beginning of summer and sunshiny days. <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

<\/p>\n

So our theme this week is<\/font> noon.\u00a0 Something that happened on or the qualities of noontime.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

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

A format which us wordplay-loving hosts might associate with high noon is…the Nonet. <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

We featured this format not that long ago, but we’re doing it again because, well a Noon Nonet just sounds fun.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

<\/p>\n

A Nonet, according to ShadowPoetry.com, <\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

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

<\/font><\/font><\/strong>has nine lines. <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

the third line seven syllables, etc… until line nine finishes with one syllable. <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional. <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

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

line 1 – 9 syllables
\n line 2 – 8 syllables
\n line 3 – 7 syllables
\n line 4 – 6 syllables
\n line 5 – 5 syllables
\n line 6 – 4 syllables
\n line 7 – 3 syllables
\n line 8 – 2 syllables
\n line 9 – 1 syllables<\/font>
\n <\/span><\/strong><\/font>
\n <\/font><\/span>For instance, this example from the ShadowPoetry.com explanation of the format:<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

<\/font>Midnight’s Breath<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It came sweetly upon midnight’s breath,<\/font>
\n that turned seasons from white to green,<\/font>
\n and brought the pre-dawn sparrows<\/font>
\n to chirp a merry tune…<\/font>
\n nestled securely<\/font>
\n on, around, and <\/font>
\n in-between<\/font>
\n Springtime’s<\/font>
\n warmth.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\n This week the Friday Fling Writes Nonets about Noon!<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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

Be sure to save time to read and comment brightly about your fellow Pals’ Noon Nonets. <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Then go enjoy two weekend High Noons as well as the time before and after them!
