Poems featured:

“Dust of Snow” by Robert Frost

“The Orange” by Wendy Cope

“The Laughing Heart” by Charles Bukowski

In this lighter, brighter episode of A Voice Like This, we turn our attention to the small joys -the sparks, glimmers, and brief flashes of warmth that can shift an entire day.

Robert Frost offers a tiny moment of unexpected wonder.

Wendy Cope celebrates the quiet delight found in something as simple as an orange.

And Charles Bukowski closes with a call to embrace your own life and keep the light within you burning.

Together, these poems remind us that joy isn’t always grand or dramatic. Sometimes it’s soft, sometimes it’s ordinary -but it’s always worth noticing.
