Dear Smile

  Fandango’s FOWC is affable.  It’s a free-form today. Dear Smile that crinkles with joy in the corners of your eyes dancing twinkles light the stage, your face is set for laughter; candied popcorn bursts, sweet and affable. I want to eat you all up.  

The Jacks

Fandango’s FOWC is onerous, and the Word of the Day Challenge is uppercut. Billy Jack was ever the hard worker, from the time he was able to stand. He would help his maw with the laundry, would set the table, peel the potatoes, feed the chickens, run to the dairy farm to get milk, and…

FOWC — Forgive

image link Fandango’s FOWC is forgive. Today’s offering is in the form of a triolet.   Forgive Hearts shall lighten with forgiveness Burdens gone, shall weigh down no more Shift to wrongdoer; divest Hearts shall lighten with forgiveness Lightened soul, with wings, soars fearless Cosmic balance shifts, evens the score Hearts shall lighten with forgiveness…
