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.

Precious Sleep I Long For Thee

I woke up at 4am

My alarm is set for 6

Ive been trying to fall back asleep since 4am

So my alarm can stay employed

I wish I could see the glass half full

But frankly I’m annoyed

I enjoy the shift from the hymn-like title to the nursery rhyme-like poem.
