Glide: Fowc with Fandango
Written for Fandango: https://fivedotoh.com/2020/06/18/fowc-with-fandango-glide/
Skating
Once upon a time
In a land so far away
There was a little boy
Who liked to go astray
He went down to the pond
To glide along the ice
He stopped and then he yawned
Covering his mouth was nice.

Chess Game
Walking along the buttress
Of her seemingly war proof fortress
Grace asked her soldiers for much less
To whisper so that noise was voiceless
Lest they should feel so useless
They went off to play the game of chess.

Recalling your day
Today was a day to recall
The great things of your yesterday
By watching all things that you say
Like trying to not drop the ball
Which could lead to your giant fall.
So live with your happiness now
It’s cheaper than buying a cow
Your senses will help lead the way
your story just won’t go astray
Now lay down your cents, wipe your brow.

**I have no idea if this is correct but I believe each line is eight syllables and I used sense in the third to last line and the synonym in the last line**
Tale Weaver – #280 – Tickets – June 18th.

movie tickets
Billy stood outside the glass window, staring up at the stickers showing showtimes and prices. He wasn’t sure he would have enough money for tickets, especially since he wanted to ask Wendy to go with him. If they went to the matinee, they could probably even get popcorn.
Billy remembered the time his parents’ friends were sitting at his house. They were laughing and bragging about how they see multiple movies in a day because they just scoot from one theater room to the next without anyone noticing. The went on to say that because theaters were only employing one person for the counter and one for keeping an eye on things, they really had no problem and didn’t have to sneak.
Billy’s dad had looked past the man’s shoulder, catching Billy’s eye. Billy could see the disgust on his face, as he listened to this adult talk so pompously about stealing from the theater. Billy’s mom was shifting in her seat, trying to get a word in, trying to end the conversation. Billy couldn’t believe these adults were so proud of their dishonesty.
So now, looking up at the shows and the prices, he can see how it might be tempting to stay for a second show, but he would never be able to live with that decision. He was also concerned that Wendy would simply walk away with a dishonest idea like that. It wasn’t worth it. They could just come to the early show and save money that way. It is supposed to be a positive thing to do, why turn it bad?

Thursday photo prompt

Welcome to this week’s #writephoto prompt!
This week’s prompt ~ Soar
https://scvincent.com/2020/06/18/thursday-photo-prompt-soar-writephoto-2/
Wanting to soar
Will the wings of the geese carry me to you?
Will the clouds in the sky hold me up to see you?
Will the rain wash away my sorrow?
Upon the wings of geese, I wish I could soar
Upon the clouds I wish I could sit and wait for you
Falling like rain my tears try to wash away sadness.
For another day will bring sun
Another day will be void of dark clouds
And allow the geese to rest before flight.
