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 “f” sounds in line 3 feels like attempts at flight. I like how the off-rhyme of the first two lines resolve into the rhyme of the last two. Love the assonance in the first line. The stressed first syllable suggests the flying in from below. The rhythm of “goes on”…”go by” gets at the continuity. Good work.

I couldn’t say it better than this–it’s a great poem, Jim!
Thanks much Gabby. This was actually a comment I wrote for Dustin Cecil poem & decided to use it here. I was working on one about Turkey Vultures!
That’s so great

I’m tripping out over Gaby’s feedback. Great little poem and I can’t believe what she saw.
