I was drunk when I signed up last year and spent the month writing dumb but fun haikus. This year, I might want to experiment and sprinkle in some new stuff.

These poems can’t live in my notes app forever

To make sure I work diligently, at least for a month.

My friend has been participating in Lexington Poetry Month for years, and I’ve always found it inspiring. I’ve been curious about it for a while, but this is the first year I finally decided to take the leap. As a musician and lyricist, I’ve always been drawn to the power of words, and this felt like the perfect challenge to stretch that part of my creativity in a new way.

I have a new project that’s ready to turn into poetry.

Every year, the community, at LexPoMo– and the LexPoMo experience– restore my faith in the limitlessness of poetry. Remember: YOU are the art form!

This year, it’s all about trying to take my poetry in new and challenging directions while still being a part of this eclectic community.
