WHY I WRITE A POEM A DAY

In a quest to find more joy in the tedious rhythm of my life as a new mother, I vowed to write a poem every day that year to train myself to observe the world around me. That was 10 years ago, and I never stopped. May this space inspire you to notice the ordinary moments in your own days and find them suddenly bright with wonder.

TODAY’S POEM

Inside an introvert

If you could turn
an introvert inside out,
you would be pelted
with a rhapsody of thought.

Like a tree
stands quietly
while its roots
work underground
absorbing water,

so does the introvert,
watching
taking it all in,
only pretending
to be still.
