One Poem Only is a daily poetry podcast offering a quiet moment with a single poem—read aloud, without analysis or noise. This month on One Poem Only, I’m revisiting poems that stayed with me long after recording them. Some became listener favorites; others quietly became favorites of my own. One Poem Only Revisited is an invitation to return—to listen again, reflect, and discover what feels different now. Today’s poem is Momma Said Be Nice by Chris Kads. Read the full poem on Substack.
