See you Friday night, Feb. 6, for our first FF meeting of the new dawn! I mean, the new year!
Also, don't forget Winter with the Writers! Please drop by on TONIGHT! at 8PM in the Tiedtke for Derek Walcott, Nobel Prize-winning poet. Come early and enjoy yourself.

The FFF (FirstFristFriday) of 2009 was marvelous! Where was everybody? If it makes the pre-viewing by the Godfather of FF.. (there must be a "nah!" button) ..below is what I read as my comeback offering. He did say something about posting it here! Just know this was the slumdog of what was read! If you like that famous poet, Dr. Suess, you'll get through it.

Oh no! What's this mean?
Is it speaking to me?
Shall I choose sleepless nights
drinking hot cups of tea?
Did I say that correctly?
Is it 'CUPS of HOT tea'?
Oh why am I bringing
this horror to me?
First Friday's for great writers
of epics ~ flash fiction!
Oh NO, nothing rhymes now
but Donder and Blitzen!
To start tossing and turning
again in my bed..
to compose again, CRAZY!,
and then have it read?
But, topics as nightmares
began that first night
and woke me with images
in words I could write.
Most were gone by the morning
but the damage was done.
I WILL bring in something;
the race must be run.
I'll climb up that mountain;
I'll dig myself in..'cuz
First Friday, that torture
is resuming again!
I'll make all the copies..
I'll have something to tell,
and bring it to Woolson
and to Phil with one 'L'.
