[A-Z Challenge] Flabbergast I am!


Shock and Awe
Are my methods
Silently but Swiftly
I approach

Always an uninvited guest
I am; Emotions -
Happiness or sadness
Follow me

In the family of
Surprise I belong
Flabby and gast
My old ancestors

Astound, dumbfound
My good friends
Routine, and Orthodox,
My not so good friends

Spicing up a day
I like
Disorient too
I sometimes do

Elation or despair
I might cause
Screaming or speechless people
I leave behind

In stunning situations
Employed I am
In the daily rut
Idle I am

Yet unsurprisingly I am
Surprise of the highest order
For I am
Flabbergast!

The word was screaming in my head. Or maybe I love this word. Maybe I loved saying "flabbergasted". I do not know the exact reason but in the end flabbergast it was! Or simply it was  to flabbergast my readers!

With this I complete first week of the challenge. A challenge which has consumed me but every post leaving me exhilarated in the end! Hopefully I can keep this on till 30th of the month.

PS: This is part of the April A-Z Challenge where a post has to be posted every day in the month of April except on Sundays. The details are present here.
