Happy Tuesday! and all that jazz...

The American Sandwich game...

Flash Fiction in 51 syllables,

with a poetic filling.

Write a piece of flash fiction in just three American Sentences. Allen Ginsberg's American Sentence has seventeen syllables. Your task is to use as few words as possible to fill the sandwich.

Take a bite...

Here's a couple of samples:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy Birthday Elvis Costello, Sean Connery, and Jeff Tweedy. Also to Billy Ray Cyrus, Grandmaster Gareth, and Rob Halford. Not forgetting, Claudia Schiffer, Martin Amis, and Tim Burton.

You can clink the links in my sidebar to lots of people born today.You'll find Matt Aitken, Ronald Waterreus, Gene Simmons, and a few more. And of course, if it's YOUR BIRTHDAY today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you too!

Here's a little thing I wrote this morning:

Timeless day
Timeless as before
SUMMER CALLS
Timeless as before
Timeless day

    Happy Birthday and nice poem Andy.

    Think we've been at opposite ends of the weather-mood the last couple of poetic days!

    Happy Birthday - even though it must be tomorrow by now - unless it really is a timeless day...?
