The Belle of Yule
Melani Udaeta
She walked in the natural belle of Yule,
lit up like the glitter upon the trees.
Holding a dove waiting for its release
in her arms the white bird appeared a jewel.
Harmony poured from every molecule,
joy rang in and sang of freedom and peace.
Flying off fingertips into the breeze
its wings carried an iconic symbol.
Encompassing each of the Northern Lights
her smile grew like the return of the Sun.
Sweetening the lips like a candy cane something to believe in rose to new heights.
The journey to warmth and light had begun bringing some hope that all year would remain.

One Poem Only submissions are open.
I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
