Nichols is in perpetual need of the proverbial fire lit near his nether regions to keep his writing (and life) on track; the last two years of LexPoMo held incredible chances to meet other local writers, read outstanding pieces every day, and remind him why he does what he does (and must do).

Being a part of Lex Po Mo is like starting a road trip with a tank full of gas....... You're on an adventure, you meet people along the way, you grow and change, and you end up somewhere different than where you began. Poetry is freedom and an open road!

It's How Mom Rolls
Wednesday, May 25, 2016 @ 1:31pm
Reason for signing up:
This is my last summer in Lexington before I move to the Midwest, and so I wanted to go out the same way that I've spent my last two summers here: writing poetry.
Wednesday, May 25, 2016 @ 9:35pm
Reason for signing up:
As a transplant to Kentucky, I have been going to as many literary readings as possible. It is important for me to immerse myself in the culture of Creative Writing here in Lexington. It is an enrichment to me, and in the process, an enrichment for my students. I don't function well without poetry. Signing up with LexPoMO is a challenge I would like to take.
Thursday, May 26, 2016 @ 1:37pm
Reason for signing up:
When I found myself writing poetry in Chemistry and Politics classes, I knew I needed to become more organized in this craft.
Thursday, May 26, 2016 @ 3:00pm
Reason for signing up:
I've spent the last year writing critical prose. I'm afraid of losing my poetry voice.
Friday, May 27, 2016 @ 1:17pm
Reason for signing up:
I have been writing for ten years now, and aside from a handful of poems shared through Facebook, I haven't put my work out there yet. This challenge seems like a great jumping off point to start making these dreams a reality.

Monday, May 30, 2016 @ 7:40pm
Reason for signing up:
To try a form of creativity that I have not done since school - so many years ago. And because showing this to others is a huge leap of faith over a mountain of fear.
Monday, May 30, 2016 @ 9:53pm
Reason for signing up:
I enjoy creative outlets.
Monday, May 30, 2016 @ 10:20pm
Reason for signing up:
I love the idea of working together toward the creation of a large body of poetry, alongside people I don't even know. And, last year's poems gave me threads to follow into this year's work.
Monday, May 30, 2016 @ 11:58pm
Reason for signing up:
I am looking forward to a challenge.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 12:02am
Reason for signing up:
I've enjoyed participating in past LexPoMos. This year I need a writing jump start. I hope the daily goal of producing a poem will entice me back into writing consistently. I enter this challenge rusty and ready to work.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 1:25am
Reason for signing up:
all the cool kids are doing it ;]
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 8:23am
Reason for signing up:
I enjoy each LexPoMo and see each event as a way to focus on poetry (reading and giving feedback) and writing poetry.

Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 9:03am
Reason for signing up:
I signed up because I appreciate being part of this community of writers.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 9:59am
Reason for signing up:
I love the community and the inspiration to write more poetry. The world needs more poets and more people who read poetry!
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 10:12am
Reason for signing up:
I adore poetry, and I believe that poetry is an art that doesn't get the attention it deserves, particularly among young people.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 11:09am
Reason for signing up:
I want to learn to write like I'm running out of time.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 11:25am
Reason for signing up:
Teaching takes away most of my time, so I am out of the practice of poetry. I would like to become an active poet again.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 1:47pm
Reason for signing up:
I am wanting to challenge myself and give myself some direction and goals with my writing.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 4:09pm
Reason for signing up:
Because writing is in my bone marrow.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 5:10pm
Reason for signing up:
This is my third year. The thrill of productivity always outweighs the guilt of not quite managing the daily part. I love reading other people's poems and seeing encouraging comments on mine. Let's get busy!
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 7:04pm
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 7:34pm
Reason for signing up:
For the challenge to write everyday -
a habit worth pursuing.
Tuesday, May 31, 2016 @ 10:18pm
Reason for signing up:
Jim Lally mentioned Lexington Poetry Month at our local writer's group meeting. I thought it would be a nice way to write again everyday.

Wednesday, June 1, 2016 @ 7:59am
Reason for signing up:
As I wrote last year, when I was first challenged to take part in LexPoMo, I hope a foreigner's perspective would be interesting to American fellow-writers, and it would also add some different color to the whole picture. Besides, it's so much fun and such a great adventure!
Wednesday, June 1, 2016 @ 8:52am
