August’s birth flowers are the gladiolus and the poppy

silhouette, a saboteur of my spirit as
I reminisce with a sad and heavy heart
looking at your profile, stern and angular,
hunting for signs of gentleness and goodwill
original feelings blurred and reckless
unto to myself lies the energy of blame
eternal love rewards those who seek it
tears of joy or tears of sadness, no matter
truth is the fortunate stroke of serendipity
embarking on my quest for happiness
You’re at BrewNSpew Cafe, where friends meet
THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER (FANDANGO)
RANDOM MUSINGS ON LIFE, SOCIETY, AND POLITICS.
Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Fandango, which, for the purpose of this blog, is my pseudonym. My real world identity will remain a mystery.
So I’m Fandango, but not as in the Fandango app that you use to check show times and to purchase movie tickets. Oh no. I’m Fandango, for those of you who are Queen fans, as made infamous by the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody…
Please support your fellow bloggers
Here’s what is going on at the cafe. On Mondays, I publish a post titled BrewNSpew Cafe. A weekly feature is I share a word and/or image for your interpretation. I have included my own creation addressing the prompt.
Please join our talented community and challenge yourselves by contributing your own creation using the week by week featured word, image or both. There are no restrictions, except please and thank you for limiting a written post to 300 words or fewer.
Link your blog to mine with a Pingback. To do a Pingback: Copy the URL (the HTTPS:// address of my post) for the current week’s Challenge and paste it into your post. You may also place a copy of the URL of your post in the comments of the current week’s Challenge post.
The prompt will close 5 days from the date of my post. I will post a week after week wrap-up of posts shared by our kindred bloggers.
