Just found out about a new site, launched by Leigh (“Old Altonian”) and Kwee of “Akweelife.” “The Tale Tellers” has one rule: NO PROMPTS. They invite stories, flash fiction, poetry… and they encourage constructive criticism and grammatical suggestions. So this post will be my first for The Tale Tellers! Come join in the fun – follow the link above!
FILM FILLY’S FRACTIOUS FRICTION
Feeling friendly,
phoned Fiona Fleshpot.
Faded fashion filly
facing failed flick – fetid flop.
FLASH! (flotsam for females)
fancied former, firmer,
flexible, “fine” Fiona.
Furnished factoids.
Fix festivities.
Fry fast foods…
fling fresh fare
(fodder for former fatties).
Flaming flambes,
frozen Frangipani,
Früzen-Gladje,
fudgy fondues.
Fiona feels friction falter;
feeds fairly full…
Finally, farts.

Not sure I’ve ever seen such eFFective alliteration. Fun!
Sharp Little Pencil
This has to be the whackiest thing I’ve ever attempted… a completely alliterative poem, and fun, too. Glad you got a chuckle! Amy
Renee Espriu
This is really funny, Amy. It’s as though you were on a roll and just kept on going. Bodily functions are always humorous.

I have another one, as yet unpublished, about my dad’s legendary flatulence. Problem is, I can’t get it typed up without laughing! I mean, he could burn a whole in wallpaper!!! Glad you enjoyed it, Renee.

Fine fizzy flash fiction
ps I’m glad you didn’t use that nasty f word!
Sharp Little Pencil
I was particularly proud that I did not employ that word. I consider it lazy speech, as though one cannot find another adjective. And even if it’s used descriptively, surely there are other, more clever ways of expressing it, right? xxoo Amy
Debbie
Fabulous and fanciful! 🙂 Thanks Amy!

Hey, we all have to get silly now and again, right? Amy
Old Egg
Funny fiction follows fabulous food feast.

Feeding frenzy: French fried Flambe! Glad you dug it, Robin! Amy
Kim Nelson
You manage this nicely. I am not able to do so well! 😉
Sharp Little Pencil
This came during a manic phase, and I laughed myself silly composing it! Thanks, Kim. PS You do just fine, my dear, with your own style!! I am a fan.

I cannot write poety worth a flip. But I do enjoy and appreciate it. Your “Film Filly’s Fractious Friction” is delightful! I love the cadence to it.
Thank you for sharing it.

Kwee, so glad to have you on my blog! I’m honored. Still getting used to managing all the prompts… but glad you liked the “F” poem, thankfully devoid of the “F” word! Amy

Sorry I’m late Amy, we’ve had Daniel with us, which more or less precludes any chance to open up the computer. I love the fun in this poem – I can’t do stuff like that. Welcome to The Tale Tellers, it’s lovely having you aboard.

Leigh, I hope I can keep up with all these prompts. Sometimes, I try too many and then get behind in answering these wonderful comments. Glad you liked this supremely silly one, written, most assuredly, on a manic high that was not to be calmed! Amy
