Stone Soup Croutons, 4-24-24: No Rest

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions selected from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.

 

I also have a book collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

Thank you, Anne Elezabeth Pluto, for closing out National Poetry Month last Wednesday. It's Sunday as I'm posting this. National Poetry Month and National Poetry Writing Month closes in just a little over two days. I'm grateful that the enthusiasm from the audience didn't dwindle at all. Anne had as attentive and and appreciative an audience as our previous three features had. I'm trying to keep the spirit of her reading in my last crouton poem of the month, but really I'm better off telling you to go back and listen to her feature.  

I'm grabbing Anne's book after I post this. You should too.

Thanks for reading.

No Rest

 

No matter how much

life whittle you down,

there's a pair of shoes

to save with spurs

on a horse whose name

you never knew.
