\n Friday Fling #273 for Febuary 28th 2014<\/font>
\n <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n


\n A few years ago, I think it was,<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

maybe back on MySpace,<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

we had a Fling challenge about the cliche<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.”<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Specifically, it was inspired by part<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

of an old Saturday Night Live sketch<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

in which John Belushi offered alternative comparisons:<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n <\/font>
\n We thought this would be a good time to revisit that challenge.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font>What would the ideal comparison be<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

to the beginning and end of March?<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Or is there a story that makes you think of? <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two years ago we did a challenge about leap year. <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

The format suggested then was the <\/font>Sedoka,<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

explained on ShadowPoetry.com thus:<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

The Sedoka is an unrhymed poem made up of two three-line\u00a0katauta<\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/em> with the following syllable counts:5\/7\/7, 5\/7\/7.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A Sedoka, pair of\u00a0katauta<\/a> as a single poem,<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

may address the same subject from differing perspectives.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

A\u00a0katauta<\/a> is an unrhymed three-line poem <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

with the following syllable counts:\u00a05\/7\/7.<\/strong><\/font>
\n <\/font> <\/span><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

War Path<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

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

<\/font><\/strong> Fractured wanderer <\/font>
\n leaving\u00a0 a tortured city, <\/font>
\n hammocked insecurely. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quenched of thirst for blood, <\/font>
\n he may now respect beauty, <\/font>
\n unappreciated ‘fore. <\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling Describes <\/font><\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

the Ends of March Sedoka-style!<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

Sedok-tively on the other writes<\/font><\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

.\u00a0 Then go enjoy the first lionized weekend of March!<\/font><\/strong><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
