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.

From the Garden Center Floor

“A lifetime of cozy

nights under the stars

is coming,” I quoted

the fallen fortune.

“Which means I picked

up some trash,” I explained,

months after

that take out order.

You can find a poem anywhere! I once got a fortune that said, “Life is a mountain, not a beach.” Yay, thanks a lot! lol

Such a funny and tender little truth about hope and everyday absurdity.
