SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 12-2-20: Thursday Morning

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 a book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it. 

So grateful for Tony Brown's feature this past Wednesday. A fantastic night with some faces I hadn't seen either for a long time or ever. Tony's set had everything I wanted, including a classic poem from the first chapbook I bought one night at the late Cantab Lounge years ago. A perfect way to kick off the last month of this wretched year.

 

I started this week's poem as the open mic was happening, only to have to finish after work. Well, I thought, guess this makes it a work poem. Except there's more than a little of my frustrations over this past Thanksgiving. Writing this made me watch the opening "16 Tons" segment from Joe Versus the Volcano. Now I want to watch Joe Versus the Volcano. Thanks for reading.
