As it's Friday, here's one in the spirit of Flash 55, with apologies to G-Man!
A 66 Flash 55
There are many ideas
in Blogland at large;
I knit them together
like Madame Defarge.
There's Wordless on Wednesday:
on Thursday a Theme,
and everyone knows
when Flash Friday has been.
On Sunday there's Scribbling;
on Monday the Blues
descend upon Blogland.
But not if you choose
to ignore the day's name
and to write, will nilly -
for people like me
were born to be silly !
Great one jinksy! You are right every day seems to have a theme. Some of them several.
ReplyDeleteWhat would the world be without a sprinkling of sillies like Jinksy? And ne'er mind 66 is way over the top of 55! After all, Jinks is way over the top most of the time! Love it, P!
ReplyDeleteGreat rhythm in your poetry!!
ReplyDeleteMy 55 "I Want No Flowers on My Grave".
[scroll below my show n tell as always]
Happy Valentine's Day Weekend!
Haha, you're right. Every blogday has a theme. Clever poem again ;-)
ReplyDeletevery nice jinksy...yeah i play a few of those. i'd like to think for the people behind them as much as the writing...
ReplyDeleteWitty indeed, luv! But I dinnae think you're silly at all...that's my gig, heh, heh ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat work. In revealing my limited knowledge of poetry, I appreciate poems with lines that rhyme. In other words "Duh, duh..."
ReplyDeleteBut being silly is what life is all about!
ReplyDeleteFor some unknown reason, every time I see "Wordless Wednesday" I think "Meatless Friday"....
ReplyDeleteWriting off the cuff is always better than following a theme. Great piece!
ReplyDeleteI’m up right HERE
Yes! me too! *grin*
ReplyDelete(and I wish you could put healing hands on my back too - lawd!)
Hah! An honest, acceptable rule breaker! I loved it. Definitely a turn for the verse! :o)
ReplyDeletehonestly, i've never tried any of them. :)
ReplyDeleteanother witty poem jinksy.
Interesting Jinksy. Did you know that, according to the etymology of the word "silly", that it originally meant, in Old English "blessed"?
ReplyDelete"The word's considerable sense development moved from "blessed" to "pious," to "innocent" (1200), to "harmless," to "pitiable" (c.1280), to "weak" (c.1300), to "feeble in mind, lacking in reason, foolish" (1576). "
Me, too, Jinksy. Me, too. And I especially like the meaning to 'silly' that Gerry Boyd just pointed out :-)
ReplyDeleteSuldog - of all people, I'm sure you could share my silly name tag any day, whichever way it's interpreted! Gerry wouldn't mind, I bet.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a sense of humour. Some people take it all too seriously.
ReplyDeleteYes! Like you, I have the bug!
ReplyDeleteSee a meme! Do a meme! It's a drug!
I just can't sweep it under the rug!
Though other people titter and shrug
I hope I never pull the plug!
I haven't joined any of the day this or day that yet. I really enjoy reading the Flash 55 posts that appear all over, and so various and all full of talent. You have a particular skill for teaching and encouraging, did you know that?
ReplyDeleteOh I love being silly or reading silly....you have made my day with this little poem, is is such fun and brings a smile....:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love it.
ReplyDeleteWas just thinking out loud your thoughts!
I am so happy to read others and hope to write well too.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
and
GONG XI FA CAI!
(means WISHING YOU PROSPERITY! in Mandarin, Chinese)
hugs

Jinksy...
ReplyDeleteHow can I say anything after last weeks Ode?
I really loved this 55 My Dear.
Thank you so much for your brilliant silliness!
Have a Wonderful Week-End...Galen
I needed you around to lighten the mood during my saga preceeding my wedding with a little verse. We finally get to the alter on Monday.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, people, spare my blushes!You are all too kind!It may go to my head and cause further madness...
ReplyDeleteGood rhyme. I'm all for silliness, but fear I must be a big disappointment - I don't (regularly) do any of those things! I suppose I'm a rebel.
ReplyDeleteI did write NitWit1 her little rhyme:-
ReplyDeleteFore better or verse?
Almost like a marriage-
these words spring to mind
like a horse with no carriage!
Can rhyme - can't type. Pity that. Try 'for'...
