Maggie Devers

The beasts are brunching

With a Saturday fervor
That excites me.
The valet nearly got hit by a car,
Or I nearly ran into him,
As he stepped boldly into traffic.
He knows his purpose is greater than mine,
And I know it too,
These four hours to let it all go.
I cannot quibble with the revelers
Who watch in amazement
As the plates keep spinning.

Submissions are open. If you have a poem you want me to read on the podcast, now’s the time.

I’m looking for the one that lights you up. The one you’re proud of. The one you can’t read without crying. The one that makes you feel something big.

Let’s make space for the one this Fall on One Poem Only.

Deadline is Thursday, July 31.
