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.

Venus in Aries

you will find no gentle mistress here
no pillow-soft amore on which to rest your tender head

affection forged in white-hot flame
her love sharp-clawed, razor fanged,
cold metal studs on imitation leather

I love this piece. Are you going to go through the birth charts of your relationship?

  Thank you! This felt a little daring for me being my own Venus placement but I enjoyed writing it. I might explore my own personal placements some more, perhaps I’ll do the same with people dear to me
