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.

Four Ways of Looking at a Tree

I
A wall surrounded me
and kept me
from the trees outside
dancing in the breeze

II
The ant, reaching
the tip of the leaf,
turned around to explore
the rest of the tree.

III
The leaves upturned
in anticipation,
the tree breathes
in and out

IV
The forest calls,
the lawn separates;
the tree does not understand
these concepts
