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.

The Poet Finds Inspiration Then Meets Distraction

Whispers in the leaves
words spring from the grass
rabbit bolts across my path
verse floats to the clouds
and dissolves beyond my grasp

I’ve experienced that rabbit. The “w” and “l” consonant sounds feel especially elusive

Yes indeed, I know the routine. Even though the words are disappearing there’s something lovely and almost comforting to me about them dissolving in the clouds. Nice piece!
