reading one (1) poem a day

I have long wanted to be the kind of person who reads and sits with poetry. But sometimes it feels like there’s a steep barrier to entry. So i lowered the bar and try to read one poem a day. I like to read it once, sit with it. Then read it through a second time. Sometimes, I’ll read it aloud to myself.

The one I posted above is titled “Storage” by Mary Oliver from “Felicity: Poems”. It resonated with me pretty deeply because I’ve been grappling with my things and getting rid of all sorts of stuff from my past lives to make way for present and future lives.
