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.

Mama Dear

Hi Mama, oh how I wish you were here.

I look at your photo and for this moment you are right here with me.
No words do we exchange.

I stare at you and you stare back at me, alive in my mind and in my heart.

You’re always with me in spirit and in love.

I know you are looking down on me from Heaven missing me.

I clutch your photo close to my heart missing you.

Every day since August 26, 2012.
I wish you were here.

I love you, mama dear.
