The Street Dance

The Street Dance

A Story by Cherrie Palmer
"

10 word contest

"
MUSIC played on the STREET corner. As a small boy in a TALL CHAIR strummed his guitar, his sister stood on a BOX and sang. Mary danced with a stranger. Making Tom JEALOUS. She’s a little MASTERMIND dreaming of an engagement. LAUGHTER from a GAME of kickball filled the night air. As fireflies flickered in the DARK.

Sounds like a scene from the neighborhood....someone's neighborhood. Sounds and activity that go on across the world. Wake up people and look around you, this scene is probably playing out now in your hood, you just need to pay attention. Fun read. Thank you

I enjoyed reading this little fun piece! It sounds like fun , a street dance at night, fireflies providing the necessary light for all to enjoy! People dancing, a small boy showing his musical talent! Just wonderful. Nicely done!

such memories flood this tired brain in pleasant thought of kid days gone by

thanks

Excellent focus can't wait
Your ten worder is fun Cherrie. Plenty of activity and music filling the night air here. Wanted to go along and join in. Fireflies always fascinate me. We don't see them in the UK.

This was fun. I'll play. I'll call this:

Fourth of July

Music and laughter from the street;
lady on the balcony with a box office seat.
Like Alice from Wonderland's very tall chair
we quickly mastermind our escape from there.
They'd be jealous of our game in the dark
as we pull the curtains and fireworks start.

Thanks. I was going to look. Maybe we brought attention to it.
Bill wrote one and it's been a long while since I entered a 10 word contest. It was a lot of fun linking the words together. If you have a minute hop on in.
