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.
Trees pillow us on the raised deck next door; our voices an ostinato to the birds’ obligato—a linking of elbows with all that breathes or photosynthesizes within our eye- or earshot.
I absolutely love the imagery in this poem and I’m jealous because I want to be there!
Thanks – there is more to come!
Beautiful, Nancy! Love the music references as you encompass all of nature.
love linking with all that breathes
Love the imagery and word choice!
ostinato: how
could I have thought that
I could ever hear it all?
Gorgeous poem. So few words, yet speaks volumes.
Nice rhythm throughout, Nancy Truly lovely!
Favorite line:
our voices an
ostinato to the birds’
obligato
I love this. And this snippet really sends me reeling:
a linking of elbows with all that breathes
“our voices an
ostinato to the birds’
obligato”–This is gorgeous!
So is “a linking
of elbows with all that breathes
or photosynthesizes”
So much loveliness in a short poem!
Lovely rythm, wonderful imagery.
