I loved this one. Not just alliterative, but also well put together grammatically, and what you said was so beautiful. I should have done a Premier contest. If I had known so few poets were going to mess up the main rule of one line only!! Congrats to you.

Awwn, my beautiful Ink, I know your metaphors are a cathartic rhapsody of ethereal moonshine and not just 'misplaced metaphors'! How beautifully and eloquently you've described the essence which reflects your soul and emotions in a deeper way.. And I especially like how you've used 'm' from your Mistress of Ink username, knowing how close it's to your heart.. I'm loving the wordsmithery here involving poetic terms and of course the lunar aura always follows your quill everywhere!!Just so amazing.. I absolutely loved reading this and it should do very well in the contest, many best wishes to you :)

Nicely done. I love how you give subtle details about your name! The prose you came up with seems very sweet and hits home. Like making the best of life in general.

Alotta alliteration in such a short space. Even with the busyness, it somehow still comes off soft and haunting.

nicely done for the contest...I will interject that I don't see you as a misplaced metaphor. You're metaphorical by nature musing about life and its complexities....Best wishes with the contest, hugs, Sara

I think I understand where you're coming from with this. We all sometimes feel out of sorts or out of sync with the world around us, or perhaps more specifically, the people around us. Even if others don't see us that way (as the comments below suggest) it doesn't really change our perception of ourselves. Awesome one liner

Nice arrangement of words... I am sure you are not a misplaced metaphor.. but we all can be a misunderstood metaphor at time.... and what else but our musings help us to explain the suppressed pain and angst we hold deep inside our souls.... until someone comes and touches it of course and releases all that tension.... I think Andrea will love this one... Best of luck in the contest..
