Questions 2025

Help us keep on giving.

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.

Questions 2025

I worry
Yes, I worry
I worry

I lived through WWII
Safe in my backyard
Safe in our Democracy

Now must we begin
Sewing our loves and hopes
Into our skirts and coats

Pack our suitcase
With our heart’s work
To be rumaged through

Can we find
that one thing
So valuable to buy time

What is money worth
Does it buy freedom
Or greedom

How much is Democracy
How much to buy back
Time?

Yes, I worry

Those 3rd & 4th stanzas reminders of ways we might have to secretly hide things and be ready to pack our suitcase metaphorically and literally with only a few keepsakes of life—others in ww II know this experience—hopeful no ww III to experience. I worry too!

Wow. Great tension, as you capture past and present worries.

“Yes, I worry.” Me, too.
