Overheard at brunch

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.

Overheard at brunch

I don’t like to wait
for anything
if I don’t have to.

not a boast
but a moment of candor
free of bluff or bravado

a quiet revelation within
the safe circle of breaking
bread and morning coffee

Some of the best lines are overheard at restaurants. Nice poem!
