Being back from hiatus is interesting… all those prompts I’ve missed. This week I will go way below the 100 words by only offering a limerick.
Friday Ficioneers is a wonderful group of bloggers who every week write a story of around 100 words (or sometimes more, and sometimes less). Rochelle Wisoff-Fields keep track of us all, and make sure we behave. Go there to check out more stories and poems or click the blue fellow below.

In York a nervous coryphée
failed bitterly as appliqué
when running away
was still in ballet
added street-dance to her resumé

I’d never heard of coryphée before. 🙂 Glad you’re back. Hope it was good.

Oh yes… very good.. totally disconnected from everything.
I learned that new word today, too. Nice limerick.
It was new to me as well… but I immediately thought it befitting.
Cute limerick! I love the last line.
I am glad you enjoyed your hiatus.
I also liked the last line – good play with the prompt. Glad you have had time to get away and disconnect – that’s what’s missing from my summer as I busily unpack the new house (when I’m not online that is ;))
Ah, mid-way between the corps de ballet and a soloist! Love your take on this – and welcome back from hiatus!
I really like how you packed a story into a limerick — great style here. Must admit that I had to look up coryphée, didn’t know what that meant. Great vocabulary rhymes — I don’t think I’ve seen a limerick with three words with accents.
Dear Björn,
Enjoyable little rhyme. Like everyone else, I had to look up coryphée.
Shalom,
Rochelle
PS Welcome back. I missed you.
Dear Bjorn,
Did you use applique because it rhymed with coryphee? (great word, BTW.) Limericks as FF bailout tactic? I love it. There was a young man from Nantucket….
Aloha,
Doug
I thought we were missing some Bjorn. Glad to see you back.
You pen them so smoothly Bjorn – nice way to come back to FF!
I also had to look up the word, but I refuse to ever admit to that. Welcome back =)
Hi Bjorn,
I had to look up coryphée before I even read the story. My Oxford American Dictionary failed me. No entry. So I had to use the internet to find out what it meant. Thanks for helping me learn something new. Ron
Short, to the point, and quite good…I love limericks!

I love limericks too. Well done, Bjorn.
Glad to have you back!
you came back strong. lovely surprise. hope your hiatus was wonderful. 🙂
New word for me, and fun limerick. Thanks!
There’s a handsome young (?) lad from Stockholm
Who sped off to the mountains to roam.
Ah, from cabin to coast,
He loved summer the most!
But we’re happy to have him back home.
young 🙂 yay…
A very fine limerick indeed. Your return is on the eve of my departure. Looking forward to your September tales.
Same to you 🙂
Welcome back. And a limerick is always welcome to me. 😉
In York a nervous coryphée
failed bitterly as appliqué
when running away
was still in ballet
added street-dance to her resumé
and all the school debt she had to repay,
all her parents could say was, “Oy vay!”
I made several trips to the dictionary with your limerick. Randy
I read all the comments and found only one hint of a definition for coryphee–so I joined the group and picked up the dictionary. Interesting and successful use of “applique”. Fun, Bjorn.
Love it, Bjorn! Less is more sometimes. I love the “still in ballet.”
Thank you for making me get out my dictionary! (Well, at least open a new tab :P)
Excellent and very clever. Thanks for the new word coryphee – had to look it up!
Dee
Nice. Thanks for your visit. I’m trying to catch up –
Though I have posted my piece for the current week.
…I too am going to look up coryphee…
