I had to write her story
Before I heard it from the lips of another,
Even a writer I admired—
I had to release it first.
So I stopped reading
To write it down
And saw it dance across the pages
Five lines later.
Such certainty predilection
Brings to life.
Irises between pages
You cannot deny.

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.
