when we fall Paper Trail Poetry when we fallwe give back to the soilthat nurtured us.seasonally, we are compost, yes,but life-giving nonetheless.
when we fallour roots are ruptured;we are bare.decay tightensits cold, rotten grasp,but hope shall not be choked out.
when we fallthe way forward is pavedwith opportunityso make room for graceto replant you come springwhere you’ll stretch in sunlight again.

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.
