Here I sit feeding a duck from a pier.It slipped my mind that my 55 should appear.
All wrapped up in this duck
feeding him bread and watching him swim,
I lost count of time and remembered I need wine.
I needed a brew to help the adults stew and dance by the fire.

Flash Fiction Friday
Every Friday, (But late 'cause it's Saturday)
Every Friday, (But late 'cause it's Saturday)
I compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less.
If you want to join in the fun and games and give it a try...
post your story and report to the boss
G-Man!

We're going early in the morning to a swap meet to get more ducks and some geese for our pond.
I love them!!:-)
I reel at the terrifying possibility that I might come up with the perfect story but that it's 56 words.
Less ducks 'round these parts, finally getting cold!
Great poem, great picture and great idea. Hope you're well. I was in Oxford, Tupelo and Corinth last month. My Dad passed away -- he was 86 and had cancer. He told me he had had a good life. I was so happy. Got some nice pictures while there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/don-iannone/sets/
I just wish michelle and I had a pond lol
Ooops, dear Sir Graves!
I was caught up in the moment!

I'll edit and make it a true 55........

I keep thinking I might try the Flash Fiction Friday but I am so chatty, so wordy I probably would only get the title written and be over the word limit! Good job - nice picture!
care should be taken when dealing with ducks..... there are, of course, normal innocent ducks..... and then there are devil ducks..... devil ducks in action.....
Don: So you were in my neck of the woods! Condolences for the reason but hope you felt comfort in the blankets of green.
Shinade: I love them too, probably too much since they are almost too fat to float!
Coltfan: You and Michelle are welcome to come play in my ponds. We have a plenty!
Deb: Just do it! Hey, I am such a diing wad that I cannot even count the words sometimes. But, I'll keep posting! Come on, Deb........DO IT! Just once and you too will be hooked! Please!
Ghost: Shuck a duck, quack quack!

It is such a treat to sneak back online and post a few things and to visit your lovely, interesting blog once again. Thanks for your comment with such kind words on my blog while I was off on medical leave.
Best regards, Jon at Mississippi Garden on 11-1-08

Jon: I just love you.
G-Man: Apologies, caught up in real stuff these days. You know I luv ya..........and my 55's!
Forgive me?

Very cool. I like the strict and very brief word limit. Ya done good and have inspired me to try one myself (after I finish watching polling data and electoral maps).
