The Friday Fling Bares It All!

Friday Fling #153 November 4th 2011
Fall has fallen, as have the leaves on the trees, Which leaves the trees bare.
Which got us thinking: 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?
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. The Tanka is a Haiku with an extra and separate 7-7 syllable two line stanza at the end,. 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. For instance:
Bare Trees: A Tanka
The leaves of Fall fall
upon the fading flowers,
covering their death.
The trees are left bare of life
until Spring lures new sprouts again.

Bare Feet: An Aknat
Twinkling toes outside the sheets
suggest joy within
Bare on bare will get two there.
Exploratory groping
soon dissipates all moping.

This week the Friday Fling celebrates the bare necessities with Tankas and Aknats!
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!
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:”
Photobucket DOES NOT host sexually explicit content
Your search term probably relates to adult content.?

Congratulations Elfwing!
Welcome everyone to our barebones Friday Fling! Tonight and tomorrow we are encouraging you to take your cue from the autumn trees and bare your soul about bareness in a Tanka or Aknat! Let the poetry begin!
Wonderful blog, theme and challenge! Loving the Fall.
Time to go pick up my daughter.. I will be back early in the morning and again in the afternoon… have a wonderful evening! :love:
I barely heard the front door
there naked you were
your heart open for all to see
could barely contain ourselves
exposing our love within…

Seasons Change
Barren trees across the land
As the season changes
Awaiting blankets of snow
Having a well deserved rest
To sprout forth again come spring.
BARE TREES – An aknats I think …..
Bare for all to see
Its a bit chilly if ask me
But no one ask me
So bare all my leaves to thee
Pretty soon snow will cover me over

BARE LEAVES – My Tankas attempt
Barein leavers have fallen cold
To the ground to cover the mole
Witch leave the trees bare
To suffer and die out till winter
Poor souls had to bare it along

AUTUMN’S DELICATE DANCE
Delicate and bold
these leaves of autumn’s splendor,
butterflies of fall.
Pirouetting to the ground,
they invite me to their dance.
Leaves crimson and gold
floating on a breath of breeze
falling to the ground.
Holding each one close to me,
I gather them up with love.

All such gorgeous poetry posted.
Playful Treats
Playing footsies under sheets
While they bare some treats
With some playful tasty sweets
Warming bodies sparking heat
Under sheets from head to feet

We use to live at Ole Well
Home cooking was swell
out side the trees of old well
limbs all barren to climb swell
we built our tree hut old well
