Stone Soup Croutons, 1-17-19, Planted

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked up from poems overheard from Stone Soup'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. To paraphrase Lorne Michaels, this poem doesn't go up because it's ready, it goes up because it's Friday morning.

Thanks to those who came to last night's open mic. I mention that upfront because I was late posting the information. Yesterday afternoon late. I hope to update more by the end of today.

I tried to put in another nod to Mary Oliver, who passed away yesterday. Crazier still is how she got a a nod in last week's poem. However, this week's poem still comes out like another New Year's/new beginnings kind of poem. Then again, I've been trying to start over since last December with little success. Thanks for reading.
