Shownotes
One Poem Only is a daily poetry podcast offering a quiet moment with a single poem—read aloud, without analysis or noise.
Human Nature
Lynn L.
My fingertips feel the texture of a rose petal,
Silken, yes, but silken with the hush of something already dying.
Soft as sin, velvet against the finger,
A whisper that resists and surrenders all at once.
Cool at first, like a lover’s indifference,
Then quick to the warmth beneath the weight of touch.

Mentioned in this episode:
One Poem Only submissions are open.
This round, I’m looking for poems about what remains. What stays with us after we experience change? What survives? What do we yearn to carry forward? Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. Also, if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. Submit a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space—no perfect studio recording required. And yes, your poem can have been previously published in a literary magazine, a book, or on social media. Submissions close Thursday, October 29. I’ll respond by Wednesday, November 11. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you have to share.
