in this wet city
even puddles are poems
chaotic and fresh
when the floods come in
and the changing tides push/pull
our words bubble up
expression is life
cuéntamelo todo, si?
i want to know everything
why not write it down?
miami is a poem
we write together
frolicking on land
writing odes to every tree
so pretty and free
splashing on the shore
writing odes to every shell
got secrets? do tell
we want to listen
we want to remember this
we want Miami.

O, Miami celebrates South Florida through the empathy-building power of poetry. We educate and engage communities by hosting programs and providing resources for people to identify and express themselves through poetry. We then publish that poetry in public spaces and in books. Our work invests in collaborative narratives of place, to create a more equitable future.
Year-round, we operate as a publisher and education organization, creating opportunities for people to come together through poetry and providing free resources for families and teachers. In April we celebrate the fruits of that work with our annual O, Miami Poetry Festival.
