Summer

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.

Summer

The Kentucky sun
Turned my moustache blonde
While the Tennessee air
Cut through my brown hair

Since I turned twenty-one
I thought just for fun
I have been doing twenty pushups
Each morning and night

I love the balance of being the object in stanza 1 and the agent in stanza 2. Also love the way the end rhyme happens in the middle lines, and how the end rhyme in stanza 2 rhymes with the word ending the first line. All together, the poem has the easygoing feel of summer.

Quite musical. Plus, some deft juxtapositions of images & tones (exactly what I appreciate).
