Share Your Poem

I’m currently gathering poetry submissions for upcoming episodes of Remedy & Rhyme — and I’d love to feature your voice and creative spirit!

Each poem will be inspired by one of the plants listed below. The poem does not need to contain the name of the plant, but should have a solid concept related to that plant, which can be expanded on for the podcast episode. I am suggesting some related themes below, but these can be changed if you have a theme you feel relates to a specific plant that is different from what I list.

Your poem can be personal, mystical, reflective, or rooted in your own experience with the plant — there’s no single right way to write it. Whether it’s a whisper from nature, a story of healing, or a moment of connection, I welcome your unique expression.

These are the allies currently calling to be woven into upcoming episodes:

Calendula (Radiance, Sunlight, Integrity)
California Poppy (Resurrection, Equilibrium, Deep Rest)
Cypress (Cyclicity, Resiliency, Eternity)
Creosote (Resilience, Perseverance, Adaptability, Endurance, Vitality)
Elecampane (Enchantment, Expulsion, Renewal)
Garlic (Protection, Strength, Bravery)
Ginger (Warmth, Movement, Inner Fire)
Grapefruit/Citrus (Spark of life, Uplift, Bitter & Sweet, Optimism)
Juniper (Regeneration, Perspective, Hope)
Pine (Longevity, Rebirth, Peace)
Lavender (Potential, Serenity, Purity)
Lemon Balm (Expansiveness, Joyfulness, Healing)
Lovage (Warmth, Self-love, Blessings)
Mint (Refresh, Shapeshifting, Digest)
Mugwort (Liminality, Womb Wisdom, Dark Feminine)
Oats (Fertility, Nourishment, Fortitude)
Primrose (Receptivity, Expression, Harmony)
Willow (Bend when needed, Flexibility)
Wood Betony (Head-Heart Connection)
Yarrow (Boundary Medicine or Blood/Chalice Cup)
Yerba Mansa (Joy Amidst Pain/Grief, Alchemizing the muck of life)

✨ Guidelines

Keep your poem between 30 seconds and 3 minutes if read aloud.
You may submit up to two poems per season.
Please include your name, pronouns (if you’d like), and a short bio or link if you’d like to be credited.
