oops, misfire! hello, goodbye spark fails to start a flame strangers bored to death nothing in... common; they can't wait to flee each other. this blind date, disastrous mistake; X yapping, Y looks at... watch; incompatible!

Beautifully done in your own form, Edward--no music when two incompatible people attempt to sing.

Edward, nothing is worst than a blind date, I went on one, the guy asks me were you born in Ottawa, Canada? And me being a storyteller tell him all about it, then he answers I did not want your life story, that is when I walked away, never again ! Great poem, enjoyed _Constance

Thanks, Constance;-) You're one brave woman, I must say. Going to a blind date takes courage! I'm glad you came out of it safe and sound!

Enjoyable write. Such a nice format too. I don't experiment enough with different verse forms. I just seem to write in the fashion that my muse dictates.
