One Poem Only is a daily poetry podcast offering a quiet moment with a single poem—read aloud, without analysis or noise.
My fingertips feel the texture of a rose petal,
Silken, yes, but silken with the hush of something already dying.
Soft as sin, velvet against the finger,
A whisper that resists and surrenders all at once.
Cool at first, like a lover’s indifference,
Then quick to the warmth beneath the weight of touch.

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.
