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.

son, don’t worry about me.
i still find pleasure
in beautiful things:
my glittery shoes
and christmas socks
blanketed in falling leaves
from gratz park ginkgo trees.

Lovely meditation. There’s a little comforting alliteration and rhyme. It’s as if you are saying that language is your friend too. It has a rock-me-to-sleep vibe.
