Flash Fiction 55

Got exactly 55 words of prose or poetry that you're just dying to share? Well, you've come to the right place.  Flash me; it's 55 time!

Flash Fiction 55

Once there was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn't know what to do. In fact, she had precisely fifty-five children! There was Susie and Judy and....well, have you ever tried to keep fifty-five names straight, fix dinner for fifty-five every night, AND find time to write?!? 

It's that time, everybody. Time to write a poem or a piece of flash fiction in exactly fifty-five words, no more, no less. Any subject; children, shoes, nervous breakdowns, whatever floats your boat!

A little absinthe for the G-Man 

It's that time of the month again!  Give me something hot and fresh in 55 words; no more, no less.  Ready . . . set . . . go!

Flash Fiction 55

Yes, today is the day, toads and toadettes, followers and friends, that we provide a platform for the internet writing meme known as Flash Fiction 55. We are following in the tire-tracks of the G-Man,   (MrKnowitall) who for seven years gave us the Friday 55 prompt. While the Imaginary Garden is unable to host this meme every Friday as G-man did, we will have it up on every Saturday of the first weekend of every month, hosted alternately by Fireblossom and Mama Zen.  I am here today (and tomorrow) standing in as your occasional substitute,/back-up host, hedgewitch.

The rules are simple. Write a poem, prose poem, or piece of flash fiction which uses exactly 55 words to tell its story. Not 54, not 56. You get the drift. I will be around to applaud your efforts, then book in the approved fashion.

The subject is your own choice, and you can use a poetic form, write a short story or just simply a bit of free verse, so long as it contains exactly 55 words. This is not always as easy as it sounds, but it's almost always much more fun.

You may not be able to drive 55, (or have hair this 80's) but trust me, you can write it.

After you've written your Flash of genius, link up below, and do some pond-hopping to see what others have come up with. I'll be around to see the results--and remember, the challenge is up for the whole weekend, so don't hesitate to post Sunday if Saturday is booked up for you.

Mini-Challenge: Flash Fiction 55!

Hello dear Toads and pond people! Today, Flash Fiction 55 finds its permanent home at TIGWRT, and will appear the first Saturday of each month, hosted by either Mama Zen or me (Fireblossom). Of course, the welcome ghost of the G Man will surely be there, too! He ran the show in fine style for seven years before asking us to take it over.

FF55 is easy! All you do is write a poem or a piece of flash fiction in exactly 55 words, no more, no less. it can be in any style and on any subject. it can be funny or serious. Anything goes, as long as the word count is exactly 55 words!

Have fun!
