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.
Ah,
the essence of youth
Yes! A colt getting his legs.
That that’s a moment. I can see and feel him doing it!
This actually occurred the other day at Joseph-Beth. I watched it happen and my fingers started counting syllables.
because I can is always a great place to be
Hmmm
Neat !!!
I think you can relate to this one, Coleman 😏
If only I was tall…and young.
Good point, Wayne. Maybe the poem says more about me, looking on jealously, than it does about that kid.
A poet’s eye in action!
Thanks, Linda!
makes me curious to see the next page and all it’s scribbled out limericking drafts for the ‘second half’
Ha! Dustin you are a wicked man. 😏
omg, i was actually being (innocently serious- until just now… for the second read) and thought.
what rhyme’s with…. oh wait…
haha. honestly wasn’t going there! thanks for this a-ha chuckle..
beautifully done!
Thanks, Gregory!
The next poem is a limerick about when he wedges uncomfortably in between the escalator steps.
I know you don’t want to write that.
But you’re welcome.
This was great.
My mother used to be terrified of escalators because she got her high heel shoe caught in one once.
I remember doing such crazy things! Perfect image to capture bold and reckless youth!
Thanks Ellen!
Love this! Such whimsey! “down the up” sings.
A side note–today in my poetry group (Not Dead Yet Poetry Society), Dory Hudspeth said she knew you. Love her poetry, too!
Thanks, Michele! Day hi to Dory for me!
Very nice!
Thanks Pam!
