Self Portrait and Beloved Fan

 "Self-Portrait With Accordion." by artist Guido Vedovato.   

Traveling outside the village limits
climbing the highest vantage point
here he plays  his heart's song
deep in his soul words never voiced 

his  dog and beloved fan,  listens
playing a squeezebox into the night
performing his art under the stars
here his inner passion takes flight

he enjoys wearing funky shades
sometimes he strikes a bluesy chord
hiding the tears that sometimes fall
she was the love he couldn't ignore

hobbling down the cobble-stoned path  
in the dawn man and dog head home
weary from the day they long to sleep
but, first his beloved fan needs a bone

For today's prompt, write a fan poem. For me, I think about people who are fans of sports, entertainment, media, and other forms of celebrity. But there are also oscillating fans, ceiling fans, and hand-held fans. So let's "fan out" and "fan the flames" of our poeming today.
