The Ruined Maid Twinned by soured fates Rent "Rooms by the hour" At the Gemini. Wafted with mattress stains And sightless cockroach scramble, She's shipwrecked On his hip-pocket charms And faithless in decline. Supine, unscripted, but known With the jolt of Heedless passions. Questions posed: Answers resisted. With silvered palm and A goodnight kiss Her mottled innocence leaves.

Muse's Poetic Challenge #7 Our lives are script-wrecks. Charmed, faithful declines That resist all plots And story-lines. Gemini lives, jolted From immortal poses And left (As mortals always are) Bereft.

My Life's All Aglow. My love life is a train wreck a lack of faith stalled this dream If there was a good script it was left to be seen. Using some charm and using some wit I decided to make a go of it. When I wrote a poem that I couldn't resist my heart was as high as a Gemini I posed an offer she might decline but I made the most of it. Like a lightening bolt It hit with a jolt, when I got leave of her messege The answer is yes, she wants me to know, she likes me too... but lets take it slow. So now I'm so happy my life's all aglow.. I'm in love and I want you to know. jiffybob?

GEMINI Your Gemini face is a charmless veil of wreckage. When jolted from pose, your scripted smile leaves a sneer to decline. Faithful only to malice; Resisting release. Muse2u © 2007 Blog Muse2u

I'm still alive. I saw the challenge I couldn't resist. "Astronaut needed" for the Gemini mission. We leave in one week, so have faith in this script. We posed for some pictures then boarded the ship. With a rumble and a jolt that felt like a wreck, we made it off the launchpad. Living a life charm I'm still alive, if asked again I'd fully decline. jiffybob?

Okay finally!! Gad I admire people who can use all those words in such a short space... I tried a Petrachun sonnet form.... a Under the sign of Gemini you charm b And who can resist such charm? Who will tell b those who don’t know you well a it’s all a pose; all you mean is harm a Through your smiles, your faith, you disarm a the unwary. Too late the alarm b begins to sound—then the warning bell, b its loud deep tones begins to swell a and echoes the words harm harm harm c The double faced god looks to the future, looks to the past d the jolt of present hurts and present slights c Move him not. The script of the moment, can never last d He leaves behind a wreck of life, suffers not at the sight c Of those who decline and are thus bypassed d By you who appears to be so lily white. again not sure if it really works, but it has been fun adding the extra challenge of form... Wishing you happiness Misty Wishing you happiness Misty

Saw Misty's belated poem challenge and realized I hadn't written mine either! Here it is... Do you remember the Siamese space between us, how it twined like a Gemini charm, and how, when shadows caught the illusion of separation we were not alarmed? Do you remember the wanderings through nights magicked only with air, our breathless script carried across the tandem rush of wind and tide? Remember? how we held, hand-fast, faithful against any jolt of decline and our woven pose stood resistant against the wreckage of leaving, stilled and ever siamese twined? Peace .. elaine67

Learning Trust You asked if your words missed their target Embedded in my heart As you whispered of love’s crescendos Still, I wasn’t sure this was the way Arrowed into flesh Tenderized with pain’s salts History’s flotsam wrecked upon shores Littered with scripted roles Not able to resist the call of your need Faith is a softly spoken word; trust me Yet when I decline Questions in my mind; your pain, my cause Eyes soothe broken spirits like a charm Softness melting my pose Of independence; I can’t want you Jolted into awareness; harshness flickers Awakening in a rush to flee You beg me not to leave; believe Which one has more to fear from fate Gemini man whose touch Twins my soul; don’t let me go. Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

EH - So...You don't love me anymore?  Hee hee Great little poem. Powerfully grabs the readers attention I like the way you used the list. Great work and thanks for taking part Misty - Wow, love this one too. You are really great at converging the challenge with sonnets and making something wonderful out of it Brilliant. Many thanks for adding to the challenge Mary - There are so many lines I like in this one. I also like the theme and flow. Fantabulistic. I'm glad you took part. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next ThanksAri - I could feel the emotion in this piece, and loved the push and pull on every line Sometimes we want what isn't necessarily good for us eh? (0r at least that's the way I was reading it) Brilliant. Many thanks for taking part And thanks about the challenges - I'm really pleased that so many people enjoy either reading, taking part or both It's all of you wonderful poets that makes the challenge magic happen I thank you all Blog Muse2u

Muse!! It never occured to me to note that of course I do not hate you. That was a free association. With each line an "I hate you" wanted to be inserted so there you have it.

Lol EH I know, sometimes the words in the list jump out and suggest the tone of a poem. We just have to go with the flow I had a similar experience writing for this challenge. Blog Muse2u

pose naked in front of me with charm I cannot resist in an unwritten script an unspoken word still i can read a sigh, a word, a breath in your eyes I cannot resist I cannot decline as your hands reach for mine and lead them towards you hands like ships on curves like waves wrecked on perfect gemini breasts a feverish jolt in you a feverish jolt in me but fever leaves as temperature rises your body talks: "have faith in me" it leads me inside towards where I want to be
