Celebrate with me!
A very recent poem is going to be published in the periodical Decanto, from England!
I just got the email today! It's so validating to have someone who doesn't know me want to publish my work.
Midnight Balloons
purple shadows
damp
and
cold
in the dark
on the sidewalk
black sky no moon
lights off
no hustle
for this
locked building
balloons tethered
limp from days
aloft
sagging strings
not even trying
to
float
away
That's some deep sh*t. :rotf:

She must send them "blink! blink! blink! blink"!

And you know they'd love to publish "aching seed"!

Aww, crap, she's at it again.
I would think the sub-title to that would be "Ode to Viagra".

Yeah. I kinda got that feeling too with the sagging string line.

WTF is she talking about? That makes no sense.

Glad I was wearing chest waders when I read it. :lmao:

Sounds like it is pretty difficult to be published in that magazine...not.

I was thinking the same thing, but I realized we might not be "nuanced" enough to understand. :lmao:
(And I hope I'll never be!) :lmao:

Given a chance to know you, they'll never want to hear from you again.

Wow.. a poem about birthday balloons left in someone's office overnight, probably over the weekend, while they deflated. Maybe I should write a poem about bland, crappy poetry with zero depth...
...but alas, perhaps her poem is symbolic for the aging of a woman not so gracefully...an autobiography of sorts...

I knew Miskie would come through for us! :rofl:

H5 to you, Miskie! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

How did I know who had written the original DUmp thread before even looking at this?
More of her 'look at me and how wonderful I am'.

They make money by selling their magazine to the "authors" that they publish.

Submission Guidelines
If you would like to submit some poems, please read the following carefully.
You may submit up to 6 poems of which 1-3 may be published.
There are no fee charges for submission.
There will be no payment in royalties to the author.
Unfortunately, as we are totally self funded and receive no support from grants, sponsors etc, we can not offer a free copy to contributors, the only exception to this being the ‘Centre Stage Poet’, who will be sent a free copy upon publication.
Well, at least she doesn't have to pay to be published, so it's closer to a writing gig than anything Pitt has done.
I'd strongly suggest that miskie send poems to be published in the same issue as the CalPig.
I think the editors would appreciate the counterpoint, and they need to fill space.

I'm still greatly disappointed that the Watchtower magazine never responded to my submission of eleven of her poems (nothing illegal; I clearly identified their authoress); didn't even send a rejection slip.
That would've been her big break, appearing in the largest-circulating magazine in the world, the Watchtower.
I probably goofed when I insisted that her face grace the cover of every edition of Watchtower featuring one of her poems. Probably demanded too much, turning them off.

The shadow humidity of balloon purple of midnight
and the cool darkness sidewalk black empty month
it is not light/write hustling it is not because of this,
as for the building balloon which is locked the softness
from many day the suspended matter
which is not tried in the sky attaches i
n the string of looseness
FIFY

I don't know about anybody else but I got some throw up in the back of my mouth after that POS.
