Full and Free Maggie Devers Spread a blanket on the grassUnder the eucalyptusLie down and feel the relief.
Sit in the swingLet your hair dance in windHear the swish of your fuchsia parachute pantsAs your legs pump up and downUp and down.
The squirrel tries to steal your snack,Moves the bag off the blanket And freezes mid action when she realizes she’s been caught,She flees,You throw her some bitesWe all deserve to feel full and free.

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.
