I’ve been submitting poems to the Visual Verse online anthology since 2016, and am delighted to have another poem featured in the February 2020 issue, Vol. 7, Chapter 4. The inspiration is an amazing image by Omid Armin. As you will see, I’m in great company, with Jane Dougherty featured on the previous page. You can find my poem on page 9 or you can link directly to the poem, entitled ‘In the Rusting Sky’.

The whole poem has me aching for the person, such flecks of lucidity in the disorientation. My favorite lines:
“I am suspended between broken sky
and a pavement soaked with tears,”
Congratulations on being published in the current volume!!!!

You are very welcome. It surely was a provocative image and you captured it so well. The cobalt turning to rust is sticking in my mind.

Congratulations, Kim, for having your poem published. What an amazing photo–I couldn’t quite get my bearings for a few moments–what was I looking at, upside down or right side up?! Your poem gave me the feeling of someone perhaps with dementia wandering lost on the street.

Thank you, Gayle. It took me a while to get my bearings with the image, which is tricky when they give you an hour to write a poem!

Congratulations on the publication of you poem. I liked your ending… and begin to wander closer to sanity. I think we all try to land from time to time and move closer to sainity. Doesn’t always seem to work.

Congratulations, Kim! Your poem went perfectly with the image–and that last sentence just brought it all home. It made me think of some homeless people I’ve seen wandering around in Philadelphia.
