Friday Fling #153 November 4th 2011<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fall has fallen, as have the leaves on the trees, Which leaves the trees bare. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Which got us thinking: <\/font>what do you think of that? How do bare trees make you feel? For that matter, how does bare anything make you feel? When does bare draw more attention than – uh – unbare? When does bare make you stare?<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

To provide a poetic vehicle for your bromide on bare, we thought you might use a format a bit longer than a Haiku or Senryu, or even a Cinquain. <\/font>The Tanka is a Haiku with an extra (and sometimes separate) 7-7 syllable two lines at the end which may or may not rhyme. An Aknat is the same but with a 7-5-7 Ukiah in the first stanza instead of the Tanks’s 5-7-5 Haiku. \u00a0For instance:<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Bare Trees: A Tanka<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The leaves of Fall fall
\nupon the fading flowers,
\ncovering their death.
\nThe trees are left bare of life
\nuntil Spring lures new sprouts again. <\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/strong>Bare Feet: An Aknat<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

Twinkling toes outside the sheets
\nsuggest joy within
\nBare on bare will get two there.
\nExploratory groping
\nsoon dissipates all moping.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling celebrates the bare necessities with Tankas and Aknats!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment with care on your fellow pals’ promouncements on bare. Then go stare at your favorite bare this weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

BTW when I tried to find pics for this challenge, this was what I got from Photobucket when I searched the term “bare trees” and then, just for fun, “naked trees:”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Photobucket DOES NOT host sexually explicit content
\nYour search term probably relates to adult content.?<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for\u00a0 October 28th<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Congratulations Elfwing! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
