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.

I am patting backs during preschool nap time.
I do not have enough arms.
I wish
I had one for each child.
And another 12 for each cigarette
I wish
I could smoke in here.

Very unexpected ending that made me say-oooh-she really should quit-wishing for more arms-no, smoking. Keep on patting those backs.
