Good Things

She remembers that you get to pick where you want to sit at IHOP

And she knows exactly where she wants to sit.

She notices we are wearing the same outfit

Bike shorts and shirts with sleeves that are too big.

Two women pick their favorite booth.

She clocks their enthusiasm

Content to share the experience

Knowing the good things in life

Come easy.

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.
