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.
I give a chef’s kiss to the language in this poem, it makes me want to read this over and over again! It’s been wonderful reading your poems. Until next year!
Yes!–
O table-top heliotrope!
Plucked and vased
you pine—like Clytie
for her Helios—drooping
fading, foundering, withering
Wonderful! Love the comparison. 💚

Nancy, just beautiful! Full of life, myth, and imagery. So glad I got to read your work again!
The sounds here are just gorgeous and pulsing with pine.
