SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 7-14-21: Emergency Dispatch to the Archivist

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked 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 an award nominated book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

Andrew K. Peterson went the distance on Wednesday. Due to mass technical difficulties, we had our shortest open mic roster. Not that you would have noticed as Andrew read for a very receptive audience of friends and new listeners. A performance worthy of a larger live audience. I wish I had worn something a little more formal than my Massachusetts Poetry Festival tee shirt. Should have written a more upbeat poem too, but it's summer I have chaos on the brain. I appreciate Andrew's voice and imagery taking me out of it by the end (yes, Andrew, people do look wonderful together). Thanks for reading.

Emergency Dispatch to the Archivist

CIA could never crack

subliminal messages

in Mr. Rogers' lyrics. 

Time devoured so much

needless labor meant

to destroy another mentor.

World's in climate change hell, but at least we had a nice open mic on Wednesday. I freely admit to stealing the idea in David Miller's first poem and forcing it into the rest of this poem. Luckily, the rest of the open mic helped enable me. It's nonsense once again, but it's fun nonsense.

Looking forward to Andrew K. Peterson's feature next week. Until then, here's the poem. thanks for reading.

Lonely Bowl Grieves Cheating Dish

No one asks what follows

after cow hurdles moon, only

hard ground, mocking dog in sight?

Guess what happened to 
American Woman

finally shooed away?

Lightning, Thunder, and the Wave

 

Thanks to everyone who came to last night's all open mic. Hope you're all keeping cool and/or dry (depending on your location). Come back next week for our feature with Andrew K. Peterson.

Two Wednesdays from Now

Andrew K. Peterson features at Stone Soup Poetry on July 14.

July 14: Welcome Andrew K. Peterson to Stone Soup

 

Andrew K. Peterson is a mover and a shaker in the poetry world. We've been in each other's orbit for a while, and it's high time I invite more people who have been behind the Boston Poetry Marathon to Stone Soup Poetry. I will begin to rectify this starting with Andrew's feature on July 14.  This will be a fun night to help take our minds off of an unforgiving summer.

Join us on July 14 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET by clicking this link.
