Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked 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.
This past Wednesday will hopefully be the last all-open mic for a while. Next week, we celebrate our first online feature Jamilla VanDyke-Bailey, I'm excited about the new challenges.
Since the pandemic--heck, maybe since last year, maybe longer--this is the first poem I've been able to finish nearly a day early. That might only mean it's not as good. But hey, day early.
Wonder how being an essential with nowhere else to go but work is affecting my day-to-day? What follows may only raise more questions. Thanks for reading.
