The Cloak of Quiet Light
Dorothy Howls
I weave a thread of silver-white,
around my chest, soft-shielded tight.
A shimmer-glow no eye can see,
but here it stands, protecting me.
No harsh word sticks, no shadow stays,
I’m held in warmth through stormy days.

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.
