Friday Fling #135 July 1st 2011 <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

July 4th, the traditional Independence Day celebration of the United States of America, is Monday. It’s a special one, because it’s also the 125th birthday of the Statue of Liberty. Back in 1986, that was a very big deal.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font>\"Photobucket\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a huge ceremony in New York, and people were excited for months. We want to try to recreate a bit of that here on the Fling. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The Acrostic format lends itself well to writing about single idea words like Liberty and Freedom. It’s a simple format of variable length, no particular rhyme or syllable scheme. The only requirement is that the first letter of each line should read as a word or phrase when you read it down from the top to the bottom of the poem! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling celebrates the 125th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty and what it represents! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment ceremoniously on your fellow Pals’ Acrosticals. Then go celebrate this monumental Independence Day and Statue of Liberty weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
