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.
Stunning, Gaby! I just love this one.
I like the contrast between the hope of a new day versus vultures.
nice play with
“a wake” of vultures
at sunrise
very nice! I felt like one of the vultures!
Yes to ” wake “
Yes! I love the rhyme of wake and lake, not to mention the rhyme of poem and photo.
Glorious Ekphrastic here!
Not sure why my comment posted here. Lol. But, since it did, I agree with Kevin!
A familiar scene.
Good one! I just discovered that multiple vultures form a wake. How weird cave wonderful.
Well I just learned that vultures have THREE names for what they are in a group–
Depending on group activity.
They gotta have breakfast like anyone.
I love vultures. And this poem is a little masterpiece. Wow.
Well done Gaby!
Vultures and humans are interrelated as is interplay between life and death. Concrete imagery and craft exemplified
Only beautiful Gaby can make a vulture warm!
Love the wake of vultures – I’ll think of that everytime I drive past a huddle of them.
You’ve taken something most people find ugly and made it feel almost sacred. A beautiful, quiet moment.
