mismatched metaphors

Dear Empress, I am so sorry that I have been out of pocket due to many events. But I came back to read your most wonderful Mismatched Alliterative Masterpiece that filled my mind with memories of when my muse struggles. I loved that you found your "Silver Runes" and in postmodern poems almost anything goes. I missed reading your poems and hope you are doing well. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Marvelous as always, Inky. Congrats on the win now that we all have first place!!

"misplaced in moonlight", "twisted tunes of twilight" - grand illustrations on your poetic beginnings. Congratulations!

Oh, POTD! That's wonderful, my friend. A beautiful poem - keep writing. Thank you for sharing how your poetry is. <3

Dear Ink this is a stunningly evocative piece! The imagery of "mourning mists crawling through sleepless stars" paints such a hauntingly beautiful picture of yearning and reflection. The transition from silence to finding "silver runes" and "healing hymns" feels like a poetic journey of rediscovery and resilience. Your use of mismatched metaphors adds a raw, human touch, making the piece feel deeply personal yet universally relatable. Simply mesmerizing! Congratulations on your POTD...Hugs

Your ' muse lay mute and ink-less, venting in darkness. ' I'm so thankful you found those ' twisted tunes of twilight. ' When you dip your pen into the horizon, colors collide in such a creative way. You shine brightly, my sweet friend. So happy that you're here. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

‘ sleepless stars before sunrise’… I know the feeling. Great poem ink!

IE, an lovely synopsis of what you do poetically. You find the silver runes and fashion beautiful works for those of us willing to examine the intricate and subtle combinations of your imagination. You create great word combinations and images and put together an optimistic view of life for us. Smiles!

Excellent tanks with great alliteration. Best for a win because your metaphors are not mismatched.
