Unrest takes her concentration as thoughts of desire wanton with intention toy with the unbuttoning of her blouse she resists by grabbing up a sweatshirt instead. Pulling on the hood as if the cold could penetrate she stuffs hands in pockets deep and tries to walk out the fact that this fire has found its way inside her wall of defenses. Exhaustion sets in taking her back inside but a lonely bed gives no comforting reward. Soft smiles and laughter's memories whirl round and round until the smoldering ember bursts into full flame. So she sits keeping company with the stars flipping the cards and pretending that the black King does not own the Queen that her desire for the Jack of Hearts will not cost her the game. |

JellyBeans~ Metaphorically sooooooo cool~ 'So she sits keeping company with the stars flipping the cards and pretending that the black King does not own the Queen that her desire for the Jack of Hearts will not cost her the game.' Very creatively done~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

she stuffs hands in pockets deep and tries to walk out the fact that this fire has found its way inside her wall of defenses. Exhaustion sets in taking her back inside but a lonely bed gives no comforting reward. I'm glad you chose this version to post... and even figured out why! *G* This flow suits her mood better... it mirrors her unrest. Soft smiles and laughter's memories whirl round and round until the smoldering ember bursts into full flame. I like these images very much... memories certainly can be a conflagration, consuming whatever peace we've managed to achieve. So she sits keeping company with the stars flipping the cards and pretending that the black King does not own the Queen that her desire for the Jack of Hearts will not cost her the game. So much sadness and loneliness, remembering tinged with regrets... Great job, jb! *S* But yanno... it would be worth playing solitaire with a deck of 51 to give that Black King a toss in the nearest dumpster! LOL |

~I agree, quite creative you are. Enjoyed, and have played along in this game myself. Thank you for pulling me into that room with you, if for a moment, to feel. *Peace. |

This poem is so true. When I can't sleep I just pull out my deck and start playing until I'm sleepy. As my borough has always stated- Do or Die. |
