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.

David Madill | LexPoMo 2025

Bio for 2025

David Madill, Husband to Marlee and Father to Daphne, used to think all his poetry was corny, until he became a dad and realized that was the point.

Reason for signing up:

I want to use this LexPoMo as an opportunity to meditate on the moments that make up each day as a father. My goal will be to write at least one haiku a day, capturing a moment with my daughter from that day.

Poems Submitted This Year:

June 01, 2025 Moments with my Daughter: Moment #1
June 02, 2025 Moment #2
