The American Connie Helena in repose I chose a bit of small white coral hidden in my pocket so as not to get caught
collecting at the beach has gone out of favor my rebellion it is so tiny
get me off this rock I like the rainbows but something is not right here something is dead here in my pocket
and now I am carrying it home

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.
