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 hear love’s language in the halting speech of our bodies grown old together, expression smooth as tumbled stones gathered from our streambed, laid bare in the trace of fingers on wrinkled skin, lips pressed to cheeks, tears stilled.
Very moving!
This is so lovely and sweet!
This is wonderful Kathleen. I very much resonate with it.
Lovely Kathleen.
Beautiful.
Heartbreaking. But something needful to hear. Thank you.
I love the touch of these lines: “in the trace of fingers/ on wrinkled skin, lips/ pressed to cheeks”
Constancy is a long lost virtue! Thanks for sharing.
Kathleen – Such a sweet and tender moment. I felt like I was eavesdropping! Just lovely.
Love the image of their language smooth as “tumbled stones,” juxtaposed with the textured skin etc.
Wonderful love poem.
