The Friday Fling Goes Maple Sugaring!
Friday Fling #222 for March 8th 2013
In my part of the country at least, this is maple syrup time. Lots of ads for “sugar house” breakfasts and maple sugar and syrup products. So we thought this would be a good theme for this week’s Fling. Anything to do with sugar, in the concrete or abstract.
And to sweeten the pot even more, how about doing your syrupy write in Acrostic format? You know, the one where you have a key word or phrase put vertically and then begin each line with the letter on that line. Such as:
S weet
U nderstatement to say your kisses are merely
G reat.
A more precise adjective would be swoonilicious.
R eally!
Any number of words can be on each line, and each line may involve a rhyme or not, as long as the first letter on the line is the correct part of the key word or phrase as they are read down (it’s good to highlight them in some way so the reader can easily see what the key word or phrase is).
This week the Friday Fling a-muses your March with sweet sugar!
Be sure to save time to read and comment sweetly on your fellow Pals’ poetic confections. Then go enjoy some sweet time this weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for March 1st
Congratulations Barbara!
Welcome to the Friday Fling’s Sugar Shack attack! Pull up a bucket, tap your muse, and savor the sweet taste of poetry with a seasonal Acrostic. Let the flow begin!
MAPLE SYRUP AND SUGAR
S hove the taps into the trees
Y ielding sap flows free,
R ippling into metal buckets
U ntil, at nightfall, they are collected and
P oured into the evaporator.
A nother batch of maple sap
N eeds to be boiled
D own to
S yrup
U nder close inspection,
G aining density
A nd sweetness until it is
R eady to pour on pancakes.

Where every you see one you will surely see the other
Even on the coldest nights we are
Ear shot close

Strawberries kisses we share
Under the moon so bright
Gogglin the stars
Arranged like to lover be
Raped up so tight didnt feel the
Sharp sting
You know the one um talkin bout
Ring around the roses
Untie me before some body be
Pushin up roses and that aint a pretty sight to see

😯 :entertained:
Sugar is the main ingredient
Used in many candies
Great for a snack
Are eaten as a lollipop or sugar babies in a bag
Ready for you to enjoy
Daddy used to bring them home
And then we have the human
Daddy that likes to spend the money
Days having a lady to show calling her honey
Yes , the name Sugar Daddy is candy and the other is human
Tryin this agin wit vibe .. Hopely post ..

SUGAR SWEET

And a chill right down my spine
Raspberries red
Strawberries go lours
Wet kisses I do endure
Each and
Every one I do
Tease me squeeze me say am your

An acrostic I found from a while ago about a sugary treat so creamy and sweet!
At the moment craving some maple sugar . . . .

SUGAR SWEET
Springtime flowers peeking out from
Under Winter’s blanket of snow,
Goodness in buckets drop-by-drop
As maple syrup sweetly flows,
Returning with renewal of spring.
Sweetness flowing
With spring’s return,
Each sugar maple tapped,
Every silvery spigot primed,
Time to welcome Sugar Sweet.
