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.
Thanks, Coleman! I watched a show on how many ways our vote is being eroded. Woke up, wrote, and posted. Really a different vibe posting in the middle of the night!
“pure gold” and “sick greedy steal” –I’d know that language anywhere (and wish I didn’t).
I love that you wrote and posted–I did that a few days ago, and it felt slap-dash, but I suppose poetry can surprise us that way.
Quote is from the movie Ghost.
NICE !!!!!!!
I went back and read it again after your note.
Double nice !!!!!
Very cooool 😀

and for a moment I thought it was a political poem!
It’s not? lol Thanks, Manny!
Lol. That last line is priceless!
Thanks, Bill. We are all in danger if we lose our vote.
I immediately heard that last line in Whoopi’s voice. One of my favorite movies and you quote it masterfully in this poem. Nice!
Yes, thanks, H.A. Couldn’t get Molly into the haiku tho the warning is to us all.

Thanks, Laverne! So enjoying your work this June!
Ha! Delightful with a soupçon of real fear.
These Dear poems are turning into a nice series. Another chapbook?
Soupcon! Wow – that might lend itself to being a dear poem.

In so few words, Sylvia! How do you do it??
Being lazy! (and scared at the reality that is taking place in the world!)
Vigilance and resistance. You spoke truth, girl.
Yes, and they are coming at us from all directions! Thanks for reading, Lee! Your flowers today were very calming!

Nothing but the truth! A lot to say in so few words, too.
Yes, chilling. What a way to speak the truth in so few words, yet with such power.
Juicy poem with a strong bite!
