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.

Takes Me 2 My Knees

Such harmony & beauty at the shore + the way

she embraces with thunderous roar + her sneaky

beguiling grasp + the way she laughs +

never apologizes

as she pulls you mercilessly 2 your knees

demanding complete surrender . . .

only 2 do it again . . .

It feels like a large life memory defining happiness—I love the way the words rhyme and tell both relationships and story—-you have made such a lovely poem Darlene!
