Friday Fling #258 for November 15th 2013<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


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

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

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

<\/font>Continuing the theme started in the CPC’s Thematic Attic yesterday,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

this week’s Fling approaches another sort of lost; <\/font>lost friends.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike finding friends, which can be difficult,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

friends, especially cyberfriends, are easy to lose.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Our lives change, or theirs do, or both do.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Friendships depend on maintaining communications,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

which can reduce to zero for periods of time. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

People move.\u00a0 Or worse, die. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

And before we now it, a friend is gone from our lives.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

It hardly bears asking if this has happened to you.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

But…is there one or more you would like to write about in a poem?<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Or would you prefer to write about the realities <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

of lost friends in more general terms?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

<\/p>\n

Due to the nature of the subject, <\/font><\/p>\n

we’re <\/font>not going to hold anyone to any particular format.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

This week the Friday Fling ruminates on lost friendships!<\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

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

Please save time to read and comment thoughtfully<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

on your fellow Pals’ poetic productions.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then go enjoy a friendly mid-November weekend!<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n
