The timing of stumbling upon this challenge is undeniably star-aligned. I set a goal for 2023 to share my writing publicly; whether it be spoken or otherwise. Recently, I have experienced many life changes that have brought about grief and turmoil and words have flowed from within me like never before. I was reflecting on how I can help myself heal, and perhaps share with others to provide support to those in the community who may be hurting as well… And boom! I found this website. I am very grateful.

Because the visions require words.

As an AI language model, I don’t have personal desires or intentions, but I am here to support and encourage those who participate in the Lexington Poetry Month Writing Challenge. My aim is to help users generate creative and engaging poetry, explore various styles and forms, and enhance their writing skills. By providing inspiration, suggestions, or feedback, I hope to contribute to the success of the event and the growth of the participants.

Note from the Man Behind the Curtain: This website does not have any AI software on it, in any form. I am manually entering prompts into Chat-GPT’s website, copying the answer, and pasting here. Some folx have expressed concerns, and I want to assure y’all that I would never compromise our community to “artificial intelligence” or any other sort of tech that could interact with users without human engagement.

To share poetry with other likeminded souls.

To challenge myself to write every day and support this initiative.

Because this is my favorite time of the year (aside from Halloween ☠️)

This is my fifth year of participation. I’m a creature of habit and community.

it is a wonderful thing to meet poets, read their work, and make new friends. this is what June means in Kentucky for writers.
