toothless fadista
boards the last bus to Porto—
gum sticks to her shoe

you truly captured mournful music there.. a depressing image..
Way down on her luck
She leaves town for the far coast
One more annoyance

irony at its best ~ toothless and gum sticks to her shoe ~ Carol of (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
I love this. Adding insult to injury with the gum.
I see we’ve been drawing from the same deep well, Mark. This is a new favorite! What a picture!
The deep well of despair? No, no, I was just kidding! 🙂 Thank you for your kind comment.
I see you’ve travelled in Portugal 🙂
Excellent as always!
Actually, I’ve never been to Portugal, but I have a long-time friend who lives in Porto. Someday…
What a joyful haiku … with a great amount of laughter in it. Thank you for this unique take on Fado.
very creative take, I imagine her plight!
hate when that happens! A beautiful snippet of an apparently sad life…
So brilliant! Maybe the gum is haunting her, could be why she is toothless♥
Wonderful observation… Now I understand where the mourning in fado comes from – gum on toothless fadista
I suppose she has seen better days! Quite clever.
sad day for someone:-(
How did I miss you yesterday? I’m so glad I found my way here! This made my day!!!:)
Chewing gum can be dangerous to fadistas, I guess, in more ways than one!!
There sure are some interesting characters on that Late Bus.
You create a wonderful image !
Someone’s day has really been gummed up! Love this!
I’m not sure “she” loves it, but I’m glad YOU do!
that happens to me all the time 😦
You’re a gumshoe? 🙂
Great irony in this. Quite a sticky situation.
She didn’t wear gum-boots then….
Stimulating post.
Thanks.
Why, no, she didn’t! In fact, I rather imagine her so down on her luck that she is barefoot, with not even a shoe for the gum to stick to! 🙂
And at least she didn’t miss the bus and sit on a lonely park bench all night covered in newspaper.
Very good thing, because I can imagine her toothless snoring would keep the pigeons away for good! (I happen to like pigeons–a sentiment not shared by many, I suppose.)
Did you like Mary Poppins…I love pigeons too.
Loved this – was the gum the last attempt?
That is QUITE an image!
So real in so few words. Wow!
hate it when that happens.
Yup. That would be me. Hee hee.
Lots of gums……and now………….gum LOL:-))
Adventuring into old age. Even gum won’t slow her down.
I like your optimistic observation! 🙂
Thanks to you, I have found and now enjoy Fado.
Thanks !!! It’s indeed a nice take.. I enjoyed.. Somehow maybe due to cultural differences couldn’t notice or understand depression in this.. sometimes ignorance is bliss indeed.. .. I am happy to be here..hope you will too be happy visiting me here:
