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.
yes, I had to look up “suspire” (“to draw a long deep breath : sigh”) to be sure. I love how “desire’s growl” enlarges the metaphor. “Growl” is a perfect choice. Amazing how the little poem goes from the ephemeral dew drop to unquenchable desire!
I agree with Gaby. Suspire is such a nice word choice here and you pack so much into to so few lines. I will definitely be re-reading this poem. GREAT WRITE!
“engorged earth suspires;”
Is such a great line!
Thanks! I wasn’t sure if it worked. I am glad you like it. Thank you for reading.
