Sponsored by Workhorse, Lexington Poetry Month is an easy to use
platform for poets to publish and share their work in an attractive
way. The community is supportive and diverse, commenting and
encouraging one another throughout June. Money we raise goes
to maintaining the cost of the website and publishing the yearly
anthology. Our goals are to provide every poet (~150) a copy of
the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities
offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings
and poetry workshops.
Debbie – This simple poem captures so much of the world right now. “I can’t breathe” resonates not only for George Floyd but also for those Covid people on ventilators (and I guess for many of us who watch all that is happening).
Your seven words slice through the jungle of desperation and helplessness from both black and white worlds.
Perfect, Debbie.
Thanks Bruce!
Thanks Joseph!

Your submission stopped me cold to think of justice and what we are promised and what we receive.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness for “some” may be the new revision.
Thank you!
Yes, Debbie, a perfect expression of U.S. now.
As usual, you say so much in so few words! Your poem is a bullseye!
Concise is best!
Thank you for all of the nice comments!
brilliant!
Thanks Mike!
Love counterpoint of title and content
I like that the poem picks up where the title leaves off.
