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.
Brian Mosher featured two weeks ago. Our first feature of 2026. It led to an interesting poem borne of poems of senseless loss and mourning.
Catching up, so I'm posting this quick and thanking Brian for his reading. You should go back and listen.
Thanks for reading.
What Old Men Do Now
Start screaming to find
a place on the map
before they wake.
a place on the map
before they wake.
Too old for Hot
Tamales, old enough to
remember Cool Kids.
