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.

turning toward solstice

summer dawn
first thing I read
haiku

scent of coffee
infuses the kitchen
five scoops

dayglow
ruby cardinals sing in
honeysuckle

elf wren
comes to the door
trilling joy

sunrise
…is always
enough

I love the beauty of these images and the moments of quiet acceptance of the small gifts that come to us every day in the scent of coffee and the songs of small birds that grace us with their presence; and the closing stanza is perfect. Beautiful poem!
