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.
I tried to keep some of the serious tones of Jennifer's reading and the open micers' choices intact in the poem. I'm afraid it comes across as nonsense. Linear thought is almost not enough to contain pre-Trump anxiety.
People will be either celebrating or waiting out Trump in smug isolation, but I'm not, and I appreciate the others who aren't.
I also respect the people who are waiting out or even hiding for the next four years with incredible trepidation. At least you're smart enough to know why you're afraid.
None of this intro has much to do with the poem. Or maybe it does. I'll let you decide.
Thanks for reading.
