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)

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.
