Spin the Weekend
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.

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.
