Friday Fling #262 for December 13th 2013<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

It’s Friday the Thirteenth! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

What does that mean to you?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

To a lot of people traditionally it was a day <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

to take special care to watch out for bad luck. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

What better time to <\/font>write about luck, good fortune or bad,<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

or the significance of Fridays the Thirteenth past?<\/font> <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

We will recommend you try to write your thoughts and feelings<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

in a Limerick.<\/font> As Shadow Poetry.com notes, <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

A Limerick is a rhymed humorous or nonsense poem of five lines which originated<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

in Limerick, Ireland. The Limerick has a set rhyme scheme of :<\/font><\/p>\n

a-a-b-b-a<\/strong> with a syllable structure of:\u00a09-9-6-6-9<\/strong>.<\/font><\/p>\n

The rhythm of the poem should go as follows:<\/font><\/p>\n

Lines 1, 2, 5: weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak<\/font><\/p>\n

Lines 3, 4: weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak <\/font><\/p>\n

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

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


<\/p>\n

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

<\/strong>An example I wrote for this challenge:<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There once was a thirteenth, a Friday
\n when bumps were felt along life’s highway.
\n Ever since it’s been thought
\n that a lesson was taught.
\n If you want some good luck, pass by that day.<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\n <\/font>This week the Friday Fling tests our luck <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

and writes about Friday the Thirteenth!<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Be sure to save time to read and comment fortuitously <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

on your fellow Pals’ luscious Limericks. <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then go enjoy a post-Friday the Thirteenth weekend of good fortune!
