You've stolen out hearts and set our life a whirl,
Our precious light at the end of the dark.
Born within your own time Gemini Girl,
On this world destined to leave your mark.

Filtering out life's cross channel static;
Our little fighter with such a big heart.
A smile that is quite enigmatic,
You're living proof that there's angelic art.

The joy and elation that you have brought,
Has filled this poet's soul up to the brim.
You are so young but the lessons you have taught,
A beacon light within this world so dim.

Oh Gemini Girl the joy that you bring,
Causing this poet to hum and to sing,

I don't get the whole sonnet thingy and and iambic and.... You get it.
But I know poetry that I like. The best part about a good poem is the feeling it evokes. Right about now, I'm interested to know this Gemini Girl. That smile so enigmatic...living proof of angelic art, it makes me curious. And I like curiosity.
I can't help your poetry, but I can enjoy it. And I'm selfish that way. Cheers friend.

Sonnets are very difficult to write. While this one did miss on pentameter a couple of times, the content of the poem is very good. Who wouldn’t want to know more about this Gemini Girl? You have stirred this readers curiosity. I enjoyed reading this poem enough to read it several times.

I'll leave it to the experts to count syllables and examine iambic pentametre. But this poem has a great subject matter and a charming feel. One thing, I think you might have accidentally left the "l" off the title in Girl
