The Call

Maggie Devers

They woke in slumber

And settled in the streets

They counted transgressions

Like it was food to eat

The blaze furled down the mountain

A glass bottle cried over the din

The flare dissipated in the sky

A subtle shock of warning slowly drifting by

What have they learned here?

What fate will be revealed?

To the jagged, humbling masses

Suddenly filled with zeal?

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.
