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.
I really admire how your second and third stanzas, in particular, have fabulous line breaks, and how you can read them in different ways for different meanings. Adds great power to the poem.
Powerful final line!
Agreed! On it, with this one, Kate!
Kathryn Stripling Byer’s “last Light” is the prompt for this one. That and the death of 2 friends in as many weeks.
