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.

We used to have several willows – so beautiful! Love the sound and haunt of the second line.
Thank you, Sylvia. I knew two willows like these as a child…my favorite hiding place.
This is lovely. I especially love the image of “two willows weeping.”
Thank you, Jennifer! My favorite line that I wrote in this one!
love this, concise and all there
Thanks, Pat. These little ones are tough in some ways to write but really help me focus sharp!
I love how the last line is true to the fact that willows grow near water but also metaphorical
