May 11 -
Mother is a verb.
She does, does, does.
Even when she’s not moving, she holds,
Holds babies, feelings, everything that will fit in her two arms.
She can carry the entire world if you ask her,
Especially if you say please
She can’t help herself,
She is strength personified.

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.
