Voice

Yvette Francis

Voice to speak
Why don’t they listen?
Voice to teach
Do they really learn?
Voice to whisper… to soothe
Will they take comfort?
Voice to declare… truth
Will they run away?
Voice of courage
Voice of beauty
Voice of grace
Voice of wisdom, love and joy!
My voice goes on…
The voice I have earned
The voice that always has been
Now unencumbered
Now free
Now me!
All me!

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only

Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
