Today's Prompt is BOOK OF LOVE

Today is Chapter five in the book of love.
Here is how it goes...

Chapters                         Forms of poetry
1) Parents                     1) Tanka
2) Siblings                    2) 15 words or less
3) Spouse                     3) Crapsey Cinquain
4) Children                    4) Acrostic
5) Friends                     5) Flash 55
6) Pets                          6) English Sonnet
7) Self                           7) Free Verse

The rules are ...
Once you use a form you can not use it again, we are looking to have all seven forms used in the book.
Once you use a chapter you can not use it again, all the chapters must be used.
You may use any form with any chapter as long as you do not repeat them.
Bandit and I are doing ours in the order given for both the chapters and the form.
So our book of love looks like this

           Chapters                        
1) Parents   A Tanka poem
2) Siblings  15 words or less
3) Spouse   A Crapsey Cinquain
4) Children   An Acrostic Poem
5) Friends  in a Flash 55
6) Pets   An English Sonnet
7) Self    A Free Verse
 
CHAPTER FIVE
Flash 55
~Friend~
 
For all the days of beauty
your friendship's given me
For all the tears you wiped away
so unselfishly
For all the times you held my hand in
sickness and in health
The times that you cried with me
when nothing else could help
I know now...
We will be friends
until this life ends
 
 
 
YOUR TURN
ENJOY
