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.
Yes, the “PS” line, that additional fourth line, disrupts the form. It’s very effective. Are you familiar with Tess Gallagher’s book Moon Crossing Bridge? The entire book is comprised of poems that grief her husband.
beautiful way the haiku dangles off with space, that real estate for it, so lovely
Thanks, Manny.❤️

I meant grieve, not grief. I love your disruptive haiku.
No, but I’ll check it out. Thank you so much.❤️
I agree with the others above–disrupting the form is so effective and decentering here. It’s a compelling compressed poem
Thank you, Shaun.❤️
Exquisite haiku. That sad rending at the end is very effective.
Thank you, Kevin. ❤️
Heart wrenching. That ending is powerful.
I appreciate you reading and commenting, friend. ❤️
Sad grief poem.
Yes, it really is. Thanks for reading.❤️
