As I sit frustrated at the world’s apathies
I see my daughter
happily chasing light leaks

spilling through the window
they’re doing their own dance
breaking up the room’s darkness

“I’m chasing the light!” she screams
It jolts me back to the present
(she’s always teaching me lessons)

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.
