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.
The open mic was Wednesday. It was fun.
Even if it was last minute. And my computer kept messing up live.
Then the morning came and life happened again.
The past week was a lot about failure.
Fittingly, this poem is about failure of one kind or another.
That's all I got.
If I don't hit "Publish" now, I'll never get it done.
Sorry and thanks (and sorry) for reading this.
Misscourse
just a little strip tease.
Who hides golden rulers
Do car washes have water
coolers to educate?
How about war? Anyone
read latest party line?
What's this about real enemy?
Tired of wanting to live?
No aardvark chance in airport
of not getting caught in storm.
Thank you Mr. President, for
coffee spit out on keyboard.
Special thanks to Patricia Carragon, Jan Rowe, Jon Wesick, Bil Lewis, Nancy Dodson, James Van Looy and Bryan Franco.
