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.
Made a resolution this year to take better notes during the open mic. I still watch the video afterwards, but I'm hoping it improves the work going forward.
I have to deal with forks in the road right now. I'll see you later.
Thanks for reading.

Is your dog a spy?
Does it stare with intent
Does it stare with intent
of rain hitting ground?

No man allowed again
to be like their mother.
Woman assume identity
of flowers, still owned
but mercifully unplugged.

preexisting condition.

collides killing thousands.
President blames black people.
