I have found that the restrictions of the Fitzgerald
are probably derived rather than contrived --
I find all manner of things of about 55 word length.
One of my brothers sent me a thought
which required onth the addition of two words,
and a little rearanging to produce a
suitable Fitz.

Life Prepared me for You,
for I had learned …
Do not go for looks; they can deceive.
Do not chase love, it can run away.
Do not go for wealth; even that can fade.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
for it takes only a simple smile
to make a dark day seem bright.
I seek the one who makes my heart smile.
Cherita Fitzgerald is the Muse of Participatory Poetry Plaiting, Collaborated Combined Compositions, Merged Melded Meter, Liaisons of Linked Lyrics and Wedded Woven Words. Here poets come together to participate in cooperatively braiding various poetic forms, working together to create layered verse and compose reflective poetry. “A golden braid of mind, soul and spirit, endlessly folding back upon itself to reflect new images of poet and EveryLight.” (faucon of Sakin'el)

I did not go for looks, but liked those I found
I did not chase love, but welcomed it close
I needed no wealth for our needs were small
I found laughter, sunshine and a clever word
How lucky I am, so you may see
that a happy ending, can sometimes be
no cliche but in truth tis easier found in age than in youth.....Cheers, Fran
