Friday Fling #149 October 7th 2011<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font>
\n It’s Columbus Day weekend! And we’re here to celebrate with Clerihews. As ShadowPoetry.com notes, <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A Clerihew is a comic verse consisting of two couplets and a specific rhyming scheme,
\naabb invented by Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) at the age of 16. The poem
\nis about\/deals with a person\/character within the first rhyme. In most cases, the first
\nline names a person, and the second line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person. <\/font><\/p>\n

Garfield the cat
\nOn his rear he sat.
\nEating lasagna galore
\nAll about the decor.<\/font><\/p>\n

No syllable count, AABB rhyme. Simple huh? We’ve done this format before on the Fling.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling kicks off Columbus Day weekend with Columbian Clerihews!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to explore your fellow Pals’ poetic shores and comment commendably. Then sail away to new adventures over the weekend horizon! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
