Hydrangea Hymn

In the marshmallow mirth of blueberry beginnings of bliss, I wish upon stars that blush behind mint-grey memories, drifting along sheets of fluffy daydreams, across orchid skies. For I am carving silence before the Goddess of Ocean ascends and swirls to the sterling rays of the tulip moon. My pen pierces through paper promises of what tomorrow may bestow in blue, where magic is sketched from tears of broken yesterday's drenched in treacherous currents. But tonight I'll follow the raindrop angel sprinkling light glazed in gratitude, to compose hymns of healing with hydrangea hues.

Those hymns of healing.. Ah, I wish I could hue myself with those hydrangea hues too, which may heal every sadness, brushing away the melancholy, forever..This is such an impeccable anacreontic verse poem, dear Ink! You've absolutely shown the best of skills with alliterations, imageries, metaphors and mellifluous flow. I absolutely love the mention of 'Goddess of Ocean' here, truly defines your signature style! "marshmallow mirth of blueberry beginnings of bliss","stars that blush behind.. "Wow

"Tulip moon", " Orchid skies" Ahh, we really think alike, my dear Fairy Goddess.. "magic is sketched from tears of broken yesterday's drenched in trecherous currents" Gosh, this is beautiful and absolutely resonating with me at the moment..but those yesterday's drenched in treacherous currents don't seem to leave my side for now hmm.. This should be a top win in the contest, definitely.. A FAV for me :)

Let's hope the tears will be tears of joy from now on. I particularly liked the last line.

Dearest Inky, I feel like a rainbow just sat down for a cup of tea with me, especially since I just saw a rainbow! Your use of color in your imagery to express your theme is just pure magic - as magical as a rainbow. And, now I know why your poetry is so musical as we share a love of playing the piano and both of us are musicians! Delightful as seeing a rainbow! This is an enchanting poem. I know it will do well. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings for the new year my friend!

Looking back gives the memory life again whether joy or pain the emotion will forever be etched in and sometimes inlaid

"where magic is sketched from tears of broken yesterday's" I love this piece and I appreciate the fact that healing is presented. To every hurt or failed promises, there healing to sail through. Terrific one, Ink, compliments of the season.

I'm amazed and delighted with the quality & quantity of your metaphors. I love hydrangeas. Along with the Texas bluebonnets, it is my favorite bloom. I liked: My pen pierces through paper promises of what tomorrow may bestow in blue. My you use your poetic pen as you search for brighter tomorrows. I felt joy with this poem but also twinges of sadness. I sense you've had a rough go of life lately and you're searching and hoping for hydrangea days in 2024. I wish that for you. hugs, Sara

Only you could write an Anacreontic verse full of metaphors and there are so many, I do not know where to start from.. Marshmallow birth of blueberry beginnings, sheets of fluffy dreams and tulip moon... I hope 2024 is not full of treacherous currents for you and it is a year full of blessings and all your hopes, dreams and aspirations come true and everything you have been waiting for arrives and you become happy... good luck in the contest..

Such a lovely tone and flow, Ink--and awesome images woven in this lovely hymn!--In the marshmallow mirth of blueberry --mint-grey memories, drifting along sheets of fluffy daydreams--where magic is sketched from tears of broken. A FAVE for this beauty!

"But tonight I'll follow the raindrop angel sprinkling light glazed in gratitude, to compose hymns of healing" Dear Ink, Healing with angels is a unique and effective method of feeling better emotionally. Both the words and the imagery are quite potent and have the ability to induce feelings of calm. It is similar to receiving a loving hug that makes you feel secure and content. Wonderful pen truly.
