Friday Fling #151 October 21st 2011<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/font>
\n As the weather gets cooler and the landscape looks bleaker, joys which remain available become more important. This is when things like comfort food become more valuable.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

What is <\/font>comfort food<\/font>? You know. Anything that gives you something special! This week we’re challengeing you to <\/font>creatively express yours, and what they do for you. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

As a further challenge, we suggest you try writing your comfort food ode in a format known as a <\/font>Rictameter. This format requires nine lines of escalating and then decreasing numbers of syllables thus: 2-4-6-8-10-8-6-4-2. One additional requirement is that the first and last lines should be the same word!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Here’s an example Michelle and I collaborated on a few days ago for this challenge:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Gravy,
\nMashed potatoes
\nBeside a turkey leg.
\nSome dressing on the other side.
\nThanksgiving dinner known for comfort food.
\nSatisfies me and warms me up
\nOn a cold holiday.
\nSeconds on the
\nGravy!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
