Living in Pieces | 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.

Living in Pieces

Battered,
Broken,
Shattered
Pieces,
Lying on the floor.
Swept up,
Picked up,
Patched up
Pieces,
Walking out the door.

  Thanks! We don’t know how strong we can actually be, until we have no choice!
