The Last Organ Grinder

Between paper-soft worlds of fragile imaginations, I float upon those gossamer tulips that split every second of saccharine musings and eclipsed confessions, distinguishing all photoelectric synonyms of lachrymose stimuli towards glassy manipulations of blood-fragranced sun. Everything that is sown in sweetened textures of afterglow-soil, always blossoms upon decayed fossils of frivolous fates, as balanced bullets have forever pierced through the pulpy sheaths of nature's rainbow-blankets, but their aged roots always adorn nourishing gemstones of ephemeral healing, to spread their wise branches across earth's mirrors, as the thin veil disappears. What is the raven-spade -hearted impulse without its nascent yet succulently flowing snow-white mist? What if, reality speaks of those skies smitten with hypnotic illusions of chess-shaped horizons? Have yin and yang ever repelled each other's rusty-maroon notes that they whisper in immortal prelude? We have remained skillfully blindfolded to the isles of inceptions, swirling amidst ripples of diamond-kismet estuaries, washing away consciences with diplomatic dewdrops of frosty maple fog. Tending to forget that, we are mere syzygy knights, crawling along slanting seesaws as bioluminescent bishops. Our schizophrenic threads have been tied to the aroma of poisoned satin within these final alphabets of enchante´ epitaphs, where life will be the last organ grinder of karma, playing an evanescent checkmate which shall ascend every soulful spirit beyond Persephone's penumbral embrace.

Some interesting metaphors here and word parings, but i must say some of them did not make sense to me... good alliteration, but always remember not to over do it with words that do not go togethers... its good to play around with words, but people want to read poems that are easy to understand... Congratulations on your placement in the contest..

The sad truth is, the world is paper thin and imaginations are fragile. In so many ways. Your thoughts are deep and powerful, all at the same time. Congratulations Hiya, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

"We have remained skillfully blindfolded to the isles of inceptions," -- lovely, entrancing imagery throughout. Lots of deep insight to ponder. We journey from mystery to mystery, truth more in the soaring flight than that of our scenery ever changing. Congratulations on well deserved POTD!

Congratulations on POTD, Hiya. Enjoyed reading. So many lines full of imagery. I like the stanza, “What is the raven-spade -hearted impulse without its nascent yet succulently flowing snow-white mist? What if, reality speaks of those skies smitten with hypnotic illusions of chess-shaped horizons?”. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe have a nice weekend. Eve

Dear sweet Hiya - with great pleasure I wish you many heartfelt congratulations on such a well deserved POTD. What a magnificent piece of writing dear one. So deep, so thoughtful - it takes a couple of read throughs to appreciate all of it.So much to admire here- great imagery - ‘ blood fragranced sun’ ‘ rainbow - blankets’. Love the last verse with reference to karma. Genius to combine that with the organ grinder - a unique write in the contest! Enjoy your celebratory weekend.

You were wowing me with your eloquent imagery and exquisite use of adjective and adverb in your description, the poem flowed well, and suddenly the powerful closing verse changed to "where life will be the last organ grinder of karma, playing an evanescent checkmate which shall ascend every soulful spirit beyond Persephone's penumbral embrace." Great poetry, Hiya. A FAV for my list my kind friend. Good luck in the contest if you enter this poem. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

There is much to praise where your poem is concerned. Diction, imagery and metaphors come to mind. Loved the allusion to Persephone, who became the queen of Hades. Your alliteration is of the highest quality. Your poetry is always of the highest degree. Blessings.

There is a tremendous beauty and artistic quality to the way you write dear Hiya. Your ability is on full display in the polished way you used alliteration and visual metaphor. My thoughts kept returning to the mysterious organ grinder the more I read of your work. The use of metaphors, similes, and other figurative language, elevates the already impressive quality of this work of genius. Your insightful and delightfully beautiful wordplay had me hooked from the very first sentence.

a brilliant take on the organ grinder prompt. You have a truly beautiful and artistic writing style. Your imagery and alliteration work well together. As I was reading I kept wondering about the organ grinder...and was in awe with 'the last organ grinder of karma.' Truly magnificent. Best wishes on the contest, Sara
