Blind Date Misfire

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!

              (Yalto)

Vijay Pandit Date: 1/16/2021 12:29:00 PM Beautifully done in your own form, Edward--no music when two incompatible people attempt to sing. Login to Reply Edward Ibeh Date: 1/16/2021 2:59:00 PM True indeed! Thanks for the wonderful visit, Vijay:-)

Constance La France Date: 1/16/2021 11:38:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Edward Ibeh Date: 1/16/2021 11:56:00 AM 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!

Rob Levasseur Date: 1/16/2021 11:29:00 AM 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.
