Riny said my next poem would be a ten worder, so just for fun: Inky rain-kissed porcelain walls Show thievery's ambient chilled beginnings. (Doesn't make a lot of sense. Has an almost haiku/cryptic crossword clue feel to it).

GB - Yes, you finally did it, lol. 10 words. And yup, it does kinda have a cryptic clue thing going on  I like it though.  Great work and thanks for taking on the challenge Riny - Yes, I know, sorry. I've got my profile turned off at the moment, so my blog isn't showing on any lists, and my latest posts don't appear on the new post listings either. My blog is having a bit of an identity crisis while I decide how I'm going to use it from now on. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed soon. Blog Muse2u

Thanks Muse, it was fun again writing this. There's a hole in the porcelain walls that surround your heart Through that hole, like a thief, a chill down his spine a man sneaks in and gone is the cold There's a soul within the porcelain walls that surround your heart A soft rain shower falls upon him, clouds open up a new day beginning There's a man within the porcelain walls, that surround your heart, with a tattoo in ink an everlasting scar a mark on his soul and it resembles your heart Now he closes the hole inside the ambiance of your porcelain walls There's a porcelain kiss inside these solid walls and there's a woman there's a man two hearts two souls and one love

I just thought porcelain heart...well that would be too easy......and now reading Gowerboy's poem again I see he used porcelain walls before I did.....his poem must have stuck inside my subconcsious somewhere.

Mom You are not yet gone but I am beginning to remember you, the wall of porcelain grief that held you, it's sheen thickly perfect in chilled tones of white. Gift kisses were given on thieves holidays, and we learned not to show our adulation. We craved cardboard hugs and hid in the corner waiting to be sought out as a witness or an explanation. The rain will ink down in streaks that day, and in ambient translucence will filter through the glaze and I will remember your touch upon my face, and forget to recall the prismed walls of your rage. Peace .. elaine67

Sorry I missed your last challenge muse. I do love them. Have tried something different this time. chill reminder, warm beginning, lost among the walls of rain that fall upon the wise and winning thieves of hearts. their porcelain a kiss for show, a shrewd intent. An inkblot vague and ambient. (I have no idea what this means, but I love the euphony of the piece. Read it aloud so that it rhymes and it doesn't much matter that it's nonsensical.)

Has an almost haiku/cryptic crossword clue feel to it). Petals on a wet black bough." Who cares about sense? I like yours better than Ezra's.

The ambient tempature was recorded in vain, a theif ran off with it and he hopped on a train. To show my support from there I began, through the the wind and its chill, through the rain and this land. No wall can be built that I can't kiss away. you've heard that line "I'd leave today." As for the porcelain, it lies in a sink, as for this paper, it's written in ink. So let it be noted and let it be heard that poetically I'm rarely a nerd the fact that I'm competeting, is really quite obsurd. jiffybob?

The porcelain page Has many thieves that rest between the lines No longer are the words Walled up in chains of inky black Instead they show an ambient truth naked to the eye And now a rain Of thoughts begin To kiss and chill The mind. Muse2u © 2007 Blog Muse2u

There was an ambient light that kissed the sky as the thief began his chilly ascent in the rain up the wall to steal the prized ink-filled porcelain pen which was being shown at the history museum. I know not a poem just a story ... Sol

finally...and it's a villanelle...the most famous one in English by Dylan Thomas.... Porcelain, Ink, Show, Wall, Rain, Ambient, Chill, Kiss, Begin, Thief Villanelle Like a long thin thief in the night the porcelain cat stretches out taut and lean and prowls around the punctuated light He slinks his way, just out of sight His senses alight, his senses keen Like a long thin thief in the night He begins his chilly feline call to fight In the inky ambience of the darkened scene he prowls between the punctuated light Wild is his call, as his caterwaul takes flight His teeth are sharp and his claws are mean like that of a long thin thief in the night No gentle kitty kiss—just the fearsome sight Of a shadowy feline, searching for his queen he prowls around the punctuated light And from his wall, he haunts the rainy night The show goes on—the feline scene Like a long thin thief in the night he prowls around the punctuated light. Once again, I will try to link this to mine...but some silly reason...I never seem to be able to do this...Jiffybob has advised me a number of times...and I think I follow his instructions, but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Wishing you happiness Misty Wishing you happiness Misty

Dear Muse OK I mde it back..lol.. so now the poem I had wanted to write before but thought the computer would pass out before I got finished.. Takes up position and then a slight chill falls. Th curtain rises, the show begins. I sing my song, back against the wall. Orchestra ambient. Face painted white like porcelain. As the Director follows the ink notes on the score. A kiss felt as the curtain falls. Again, loved the challenge,,,cant wait for the next one..thanks Hugs "Oz" OzSummerBreeze

Silent Messages I knew when I kissed lips Icy with a porcelain chill Your words lied Deep inside How I cried Longing for a return Sun warming my spirit Showing me Know that we Cannot be A thief in silent darkness Rain slips absently from eyes Blurring ink Have a drink Do not think In our presence, pain is Ambient; implicit in eyes Drenched in fear Hide a tear Don’t come near Builder of walls too high Stand far and watch the world go by Begin now Tell me how Not to bow Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari
