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.
The way the middle line shapes the other two is absolutely haunting! Great to see you back on here, as always.
Love it!
An exquisite rose I brought home from a party on Monday was almost gone today. The live off a perfect bloom is short. Your poem captured this.
Whoops — typo alert. I meant the life of a perfect bloom. Not sure I know how to make corrections on here.
each line supports the other with a grace that if one word was displaced the meaning and structure would falter. a beautiful piece.
Thank you for the wonderful comments!
Nicely done!
love the music of “b” the start of first two lines moving to the harder “p” in the third. Also the assonance of “wilt,” “pick, “six”
Good advice to enjoy the moment, a step beyond stopping and smelling the roses.
