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.

Benjamin Franklin: “Fish and Visitors Smell After Three Days”

Heat from fingers’ whelps

& blisters, magnified by sun rays,

magnified by body’s heat,

magnified by scratching in sleep.

Almost two weeks. Leave already.

Painful 😣 Blisters and anything itchy is so much more miserable at night. I hope you feel better!
