FLASH 55 PLUS!

Greetings to all poets and friends!
It is time for this month's Flash 55 Challenge. The rules of this prompt have not changed: Write a piece of poetry or prose on a subject of your choice in precisely 55 WORDS.








+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PLUS!

The optional extra for this challenge comes in the form of a song:
O Fortuna, composed by Carl Orff (1935 - 1936) and featured in the iconic 1981 movie, Excalibur, directed by John Boorman.
I suggest you pump up the volume and let the words and song inspire your poetic thoughts!

  9. As a casual fan of opera, I knew "O, Fortuna", but never knew what the words meant. Now i do!

  10. I enjoyed the plus but took the opportunity to look at and be inspired by a link that Sherry sent me earlier this week. Thank you, for the challenge, Kerry!

  11. Hey Kerry--I have been terribly busy at work and did not have a chance to listen to the Carmina Burana before thinking of a 55--I'd heard it before, but it really is so inspiring--I'll see if I can come up with another--or, if not, just carry it around with me for a bit. k.

  14. Nice flash prompt, Kerry. It got me out of hiding, I couldn't resist.
    We are moved though hardly any of my boxes are unpacked. Mrs. Jim has first priority on that.
