Stone Soup Croutons, 5-21-25: Godsmacked

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.

 

This past week was an all-open mic due to the person I wanted to feature being out. It was fun. 

 

It's so hard to do Crouton poems--or do anything poetry related--during the weekend.  After years of writing during the week, my natural inclination is to turn off my writing brain.

 

It's hard enough to do the Crouton poem on Fridays. God I miss the old Monday routine.

 

Fun fact: Even after this poem is published, there are two Crouton poems I never got the chance to write. One, I believe, is from November. The other one is from even further back. Maybe I'll try to tackle these before the end of our anniversary month. 

 

Be sure to be back next week for Black Byrd's feature. 

 

Once again, it was the opening poem--this time from Mary Ann Honaker--that got me going. And she introduced me to a band I didn't know about. Much appreciated. 

 

Sadly, the title wasn't influenced by a certain band but by a certain segment that used to air on the pre-Jon Stewart "Daily Show." I misremembered the title.

What I Got for April

Four books purchased for National Poetry Month with one more on the way. Not a bad haul.

Stone Soup Croutons, 4-10-24: Boston and West Virginia Have the Same Rapture Issues

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.

Mary Ann Honaker stopped by for National Poetry Month. It was nice to play over. I thank Mary for reminding me of Henry & Glenn forever and Bil Lewis for his John Denver trivia for inspiring the title. 

Thanks for reading.
