Malformed metaphors

Malformed metaphors

A Poem by Frieda P
"

?

"
Blinded by an obvious dark moonbeam
  taken hostage in indecipherable lies,
invoking anomaly's enigmatic composed cries
 deaf violins tinkering on black piano keys
   conducting an objectionable poetic sainted response 
            erratically screeching tears of words
knighted in bended knee's supplicated excuses 
   disparity in past monstrosity's delusions
hysteria broke out of its straitjacket & lost control,
obsession turned on a dime's rhyme
   escaped to a dimly authored hole
       conformity stoked the arcane fires
              ignited within lunatic desires
discontented infidels spoke in tongues
   sun worshiping in turbulence of recondite winds
     whispered hush of truth's  malformed metaphors

A collage ... that puts together a selected bunch of curiosities ... that first draws our attention as fun ... and then as a storm in a cup. Reads like notes on a piano ... played at random ... but the order and organization of thought that accompanies the poem ... speaks volumes as experience. A fascination that is equal to meeting someone we have not seen for a long time. Tentative but interesting ...

Thanks for the invite Tate.

Ooooft, dang Mama F, you come up with some powerful lines that make my little spaghetti brain beyond jealous. This was so bloody powerful! I loved the imagery and wording, you just blew the ball right out of the park! xoxo

Hardly spaghetti brains luv! Thanks so much for your enchanting review noodlebumble! :) xo
Amazing! I'm not that good in determining crooked words from a beautiful statement spoken and/or written. I am just an admirer of great poets who are so good in metaphors like Sir Jacob and you, Ms. F.
Another fantastic piece from you!

I think I am too young to understand this completely, because words struck me like war-fighters, each with a different weapon and meaning and purpose.

Hysteria broke out of its strait jacket and lost control- gave me dirty wild thoughts ;) ha.. ha.. loved the malformed line- disconted infidels spoke in tongues.. it made me giggle like a school girl.. overall Nice job again Freida.. ;)

Ha that seems to be everyone's...thanks so much Sophy :)
some metaphors need to be put in an asylum...where they all can just bounce off the walls and be whatever they hell they want to be...nobody will make fun of them there, because they are all malformed...like the hunchback simile of notre dame.

Some people too, thanks jacob....
I love these! I'm not so sure the metaphors are are actually malformed, but they do remind me of the examples in Karen Elizabeth Gordon's little book on grammar, "The Transitive Vampire." -- dark, mysterious, funny, and enlightening all at the same time. I'm sure If I read it again tomorrow that I will find an entirely different spark of interest, but that's half the fun of it, right. Nice work!

Never read that one, sounds interesting, thanks for your thoughts J.K.
I have to say I like this whispered hush of malformed metaphors.. My mind went to some dark, twisted, crazy places with this one... I have to say I hadn't ever heard this song either and it went really well with it. Makes me want to find a man with matching straight jackets and let hysteria turn us on to some lunatic desires:)

nice job ma'am I love this side of your imagination... different, dark, delicious!
