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 remember a poem in your book about taffy that started a conversation between my sister and me about our favorite flavors! Our grandparents always brought us some back from the shore – o the memories!
Love this, Linda!
Thank you!
Great, Linda! Love the language, the concision, the ending.
Thanks!
I can smell it!

So sensory and the last line is incredibly compressed. Love the storytelling sensibility here.
Fresh, vivid, multi-sensory. “Seashore taffy . . ./marks the beginning of us.” Concise storytelling, Linda.
“marks the beginning of us” turns it into so much more than a poem about taffy!
The ending clinches it
