My Colorful Heart, by Mona Mehas

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Spring brings to mind the colors of my life. From my first to my last, every ex, every relationship, exposed more shades and hues. When I considered a chapbook of poetry dedicated to my loves, everything I found was colorful.

Relationships are never black and white or one-sided. That’s what the colors represent to me. The expression of a time in my life.

Now that I’m older, the colors fade a little but, in my memory, they’re still bright.

Mona Mehas (she/her) writes poetry and prose from the perspective of a retired disabled teacher in Indiana USA. A Pushcart Prize nominee, her work has appeared in Paddler Press, IHRAM Literary, Big Windows Review and others.

Mona is Editor-in-Chief of Cicada Song Press and President of the Poetry Society of Indiana. She is searching for a home for her first novel, drafting another, and distracted by her next chapbook.
