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.
Navah The Buddaphliii performed on Wednesday and was wonderful. It was a wonderful open mic as well with over ten percent less ums and uhs from me (I am trying).
I'm also still trying for more brevity in these poems. The title is a reference to Prince, but you would have figured that out.
Thanks for reading.
Life Rafts and Hot Chocolate
won't need you around,
and the world agrees.
Just a bug to pick off
later, another casualty
Helping someone else
could get you arrested.
Drift off in mind's loch.
Remember falling for her
when she made "Starfish
and Coffee" her ringtone.
Other memories hid
like bodies, dug up every
fall, in house all along.
There's death in Autumn.
There always have been
for a lover's moon to rise.
Special thanks to Jackie Chou, Bil Lewis, Nancy Dodson, Richard Spisak, Jan Rowe, James Van Looy, Patricia Carragon, Rich Boucher, Dan Speers, Black Byrd and Navah The Buddaphliii.
