While I did not publish a poem yesterday, I actually ended up writing two different poems in my notebook — I did share them with my writing group at least. Today’s poem was written in response to this post by Allison Marchetti. She invites her students to read and write their own version of rituals (inspired by John Green’s poem “The Return”) and so I did just that. Poem 5/30.
The Reminder
We are heartened
when each week
the teacher writers
sign on.
They occupy a small space,
write their notebooks, slices, and poetry,
coming together at Jen’s call — Okay, Writers
for their virtual glitter.
They remind us,
for now, some rituals
of this good earth
continue.
