Moment #10

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.

Moment #10

Heartbeat feverish
Yet tumescent drums suppressed
Otoscope needed

I’ve always appreciated when a poem teaches me a new word. ‘Tumescent’ is the word of the day for me.

Beyond that though, those word choices do a HUGE amount of storytelling here. It’s not uncommon to see comments on haikus saying much with little, but this really does take that to another level.

  Thanks, PC! Cramming much into little is what draws me to haiku as a form, so this means a lot.
  
  Writing a haiku every day (or close to that) is like my logic puzzle for the day.
