Oh, sweetheart, look.
At what?
That bench, how romantic.
Graffiti, romantic?
No no no, it’s modernistic impressionism created by an inspired romanticist.
If you say so!
Come, my love, let me sit with you perched upon my lap. We can turn our backs on the hustle and bustle of the city and gaze at the vista before us.
It’s just a muddy patch covered in litter.
No no no, it’s a reminder of lives we once … erm … erm …
What’s the matter?
I’m sorry dearest, my flames of passion have been extinguished.
Why?
I seem to be sitting in a puddle.

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Roger Bultot for the picture.

I’m sure the flames can be easily rekindled. Once he’s dried out.
Yes, he’ll soon get back into his stride!
Reality “sits” in it at some point and, then off go the rose-colored blinders! Fabulous parable/story Keith.
So they do! Thanks, Suzette!
Poor lady! It would extinguish anyone’s passion
It certainly would mine! Thanks, Sadje.
😂😂😂
A creative new take on the old “look before you leap.” 🙂
I guess it is!
Well, there are limits!
Guess he reached his!
Haha! Well done on using that puddle. I love this. Great work Keith!
It was the first thing I noticed, goodness knows how! Thanks, Mason.
It’s because you always notice the best bits within a photo prompt.
The weather has a habit of not playing along!
…or playing along its own mischievous way! Cheers, Iain.
Well, that would put a damper on romance.
Absolutely! Thanks, Patricia.
They need a laundromat, followed by a romantic dinner indoors.
Indeed they do Mimi!
Hopefully the puddle was only rain water. 😉
oops!
Very oops!
Good one!
Thanks, Danny.
Hilarious!
I’m pleased you liked it, thank you, Trish!
Nothing like a soggy bottom to dampen the spirits of spontaneous romance. Hilarious.
Haha, too right James!
Dear Keith,
Nothing like a wet tush to quell the passion. Fun stuff.
Shalom,
Rochelle
There’s certainly not, Rochelle!
Nothing like a puddle to douse the, erm, erm, flames 🙂
It certainly dampened his desire!
The water is part of the artistic charm and romantic beauty. I hope these two can get on the same page soon. 🙂 Well done, Keith.
Perfectly put Bill. She should sit in the puddle too!
Agree.
LOL
Just what I hoped for!
Now that put a damper on things!
Literally! Thanks, Dale.
😀
Lol! This was hilarious. And great use of dialogue.
Thanks for your kind comment!
Haha, that cooled and dampened his ardour 🙂
I nearly replied with something naughty, but that would never do in such polite company! Cheers, Angela.
🙂 You leave me in suspenders 🙂
it pays to look before you leap …er, sit. 🙂
I think his mind was preoccupied at the time!
LOL! Yes sitting in a puddle would dampen passion. Nicely done, Kieth
It certainly would!
☔️💧
Such a romantic shouldn’t let a little damp put him off!
You don’t know him like I do! Cheers, Liz.
Oh dear!
They are jumping up and down in muddy puddles.
Never even noticed the puddle! Another mismatch: a romanticist and a realist 🙁 Maybe she’ll laugh and he can begin again 🙂
Your story made me smile! Thanks for sharing.
Mission accomplished! Thanks, Nan.
I really enjoyed this, Keith. Thank you for sharing.
I’m pleased, thanks so much, Heather!
