Great Fire | Lexington Poetry Month

Support LexPoMo

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.

Great Fire

careless actions
forests blazing
devastation
lives uprooted

acts of mercy
great compassion
restoration

It was so sad to see all the damage. Nice work.

Each line is made of exactly four syllables. The stanzas balance each other.
