Hoaxed Hydrangeas

I am
your lilac moon,
cocooned in cashmere wool
of clouds that carol in chorus,
love-sewn

Searching
for life beyond
hieroglyphic fangs
of hoaxed hydrangeas, exiled in
grey moors;

Today,
jasmine stars taste
bittersweet and each tan
twilight reminds me of your scent, 
deadly

And no
inked dots align
in intuitions from
constellations of confusion,
again;

So, drink
saturated
misunderstandings as
mist from blood-stained petals like plush
smoked tears

As, hope
has always drawn
me as a chirping flake,
faced like a lonely gold-lilac
luna.

Valsa George Date: 10/17/2023 8:31:00 PM Loved these lovely string of cinquains ! Never knew this form could be made so beautiful ! Your coinages of words with the names of flowers make a wonderful effect.... like 'hoaxed hydrangeas', 'lilac moon', 'jasmine stars' etc. You stand apart in many ways. Ink Empress and Hiya Sharma are twin stars who recently appeared in the firmament of Poetry Soup and the site is getting drowned in your exceptional glow. Beautiful young friend Login to Reply

Sotto Poet Date: 10/15/2023 11:03:00 AM Dear Hiya, Your poetry is truly exceptional. Your vast vocabulary's rich and vivid imagery lends a degree of depth and beauty to each line. The opening cinquain sets the tone well, immersing the reader in your poem's emotional voyage. The way you link your thoughts throughout the poem is like building a picture in the reader's head using your well-picked words. Your brilliance shows through in this poem. Login to Reply

Silent One Date: 10/15/2023 7:04:00 AM You have done so many here, I am sure Ink will be really impressed.. Each one with wonderful imagery due to the use of your vast vocabulary... however, be careful not to put words that do not really go together like 'carol in chorus'.. although it is your poetic license and you probably wanted to use alliteration, you could have used an alternative word like collate or nocturne or used a simple words like sing... Well done though. Login to Reply

Vijay Pandit Date: 10/15/2023 6:28:00 AM I am your lilac moon, cocooned in cashmere wool of clouds that carol in chorus, love-sewn--with this beautiful beginning your linked thoughts deliver a word painting. You excel here, as always, Hiya. Login to Reply

Joe Dimino Date: 10/15/2023 6:28:00 AM "As, hope has always drawn me as a chirping flake, faced like a lonely gold-lilac luna." What an image! Wonderful writing. Enchanting. Poets...we live for love. Die for love. And rise again like the Phoenix. It is all good. I think I have destroyed many a beautiful romance (not consciously of course) just to experience new rise and lift. I am my own puppet master...severing, mending fastening new strings. Your poem got me traveling. Login to Reply
