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 Witches Moth Brought Wings of Pestilence

Circle measures nine
quarter candles colour night
scaled wings summoned forth

Natural plagues cast
extinguishing mans malice
earths retribution

  Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words. I wanted this to be an ode to mother nature.

  I wanted to also post it here. I’ve just read all of your work, couldn’t help myself. You have a gift. This struck me, Because Magnolia in the dark is a beautiful thing. You never forget that smell. Excellent work. Thank you for sharing.
