With a rose-colored filter
I abandoned reality
Into a world off-kilter
From the center of gravity
Spinning like a disco ball
Catching comets in my hand
I hold on tight, for if I fall
Who knows where I may land

Nice one, Lisa! Do you publish in magazines? What country are you in?

Thanks Robin. My poetry is still unpublished but I’m thinking of compiling a poetry book someday. I’m in Canada. How about you?

I lived in BC for 17 years and all my kids were born there – now scattered from St John’s to Vancouver Island. I was raised in the Bahamas, retired back here.
If you’re thinking of publishing in magazines, for poems that are emotionally engaging without necessarily being technically perfect, I suggest trying Snakeskin http://www.snakeskinpoetry.co.uk/, Anti-Heroin Chic http://heroinchic.weebly.com/, Ink Drinkers Poetry https://inkdrinkerspoetry.com/submissions-etc/ (the theme for this month’s submissions is Dreams). Read an issue or two, check the submission rules, send them something!
