Friday Fling #254 October 18th 2013<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font>
\n As the weather gets cooler and the landscape looks bleaker, <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

joys which remain available become more important. <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

This is when things like comfort food become more valuable.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

What is <\/font>comfort food<\/font>? You know. Anything that gives you something special! <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week we’re challengeing you to <\/font>creatively express yours, and what they do for you. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

As a further challenge, we suggest you try writing your comfort food ode in a format known as a <\/font>Rictameter.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This format requires nine lines of escalating and then decreasing numbers of syllables thus: <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

One additional requirement is that the first and last lines should be the same word!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Here’s an example Michelle and I collaborated on a few days ago for this challenge:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Gravy,
\n Mashed potatoes
\n Beside a turkey leg.
\n Some dressing on the other side.
\n Thanksgiving dinner known for comfort food.
\n Satisfies me and warms me up
\n On a cold holiday.
\n Seconds on the
\n Gravy!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling celebrates comfort food in Rictameter!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment comfortingly on your fellow Pals’ poetic preferences. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Then go find some of your very own favorite comfort food this weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
