Aloof by Luwa
Aloof
Luwa
Aloof poof, jump off the roof as proof
They use the news to deduce and reduce the abuse
Thrown and blown our way while we moan and groan
Unable to table the insatiable desire for the fable
That makes us weaker, bleaker yet we are eager
For we have aligned, misaligned our brains to malign
Images that damages, and abscond our privileges.

Write After 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. If you want to join: Listen to a poem from the month of April on One Poem Only, then write your own in response. I will pick one for each day to read in June for a special series: One Poem After 🍎🍏 Submissions close May 15.
