Friday Fling #203, for October 26th 2012<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In this Presidential election year a lot has been heard about the possibility of an “October Surprise.” This is something which happens which somehow changes the outcome of the election, or is intended to change it. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

There is less than a week left in this October, so if there is going to be an October Surprise it had better happen soon!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

That got us thinking: have you ever had an October surprise? How about <\/font>writing about some surprise you had, especially if it occurred this month?<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

One poetry format which relies on a bit of surprise itself is <\/font>the Acrostic<\/font>. The surprise is in the word or phrase related to the topic of the poem which is formed by reading down through the first letters of each line.<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling writes surprising Acrostics about October surprises!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment surprisingly on your fellow Pals’ Surprise Acrostics. Then go find something surprising in your last October weekend!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for October 19th<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

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