Friday Fling #256 for November 1st 2013<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Friday is November first.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

November makes us think of many things.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Holidays like Veterans Day<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

and the bravery and sacrifices of our country’s men in uniform.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Thanksgiving and the bravery and sacrifice<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

of our country’s founding immigrants, the Pilgrims.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And also the related celebrations,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

the parades, feasting and family get togethers.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

the official start of the Christmas shoppiong season. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

We have had challenges related to all those here on the Fling.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And we may yet have more!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

But this time we’re coming at November from a different tack.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

As a word which starts with two little letters which themselves form a notorious word.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font> NO.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

What does that little word recall most vividly? <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Or what does it make you think of? <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Continuing the word approach, how about <\/font>writing about your “no” experience in a NOnet?<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

We have attempted this format before, and not that long ago. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

As ShadowPoetry.com notes, <\/font>a Nonet<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

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

has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables,<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

the second line eight syllables, the third line seven syllables, etc…<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

until line nine finishes with one syllable. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

<\/p>\n

line 1 – 9 syllables<\/font>
\n line 2 – 8 syllables<\/font>
\n line 3 – 7 syllables<\/font>
\n line 4 – 6 syllables<\/font>
\n line 5 – 5 syllables<\/font>
\n line 6 – 4 syllables<\/font>
\n line 7 – 3 syllables<\/font>
\n line 8 – 2 syllables<\/font>
\n line 9 – 1 syllables<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

<\/strong>a pirates playground<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

the ocean is a pirate’s playground<\/font>
\n they live their lives upon the sea<\/font>
\n battles are fought to the death<\/font>
\n the loot is divided<\/font>
\n they drink to those lost<\/font>
\n set sail again<\/font>
\n a pirate’s<\/font>
\n life for<\/font>
\n me<\/font>
\n <\/font>

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

This week the Friday Fling opens NO-vember <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

by saying or hearing “NO” in a No-net!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

Be sure to save time to read and comment NO-tably<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

on your fellow Pals’ NO-ted writes.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Then go off and enjoy the first weekend of NO-vember! <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
