Stone Soup Croutons, 5-22-24: Second-to-Last Ride


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'll be setting up my new laptop later today. The poem is what came out of a rough week with some sweet work from Elizabeth to make it work going through.

Thanks for reading. 


Second-to-Last Ride
 
Worried your crooked body
can't survive a bunk up
with displaced students 
at the shelter, you graduate

Elizabeth Doran Features at Stone Soup Poetry, 5-22-24

From this week's online gathering. Apologies for speaker view being used throughout. That's a glitch. Thanks to Elizabeth Doran for a fine feature and thanks to everyone for supporting Stone Soup during it's fifty-third year anniversary.
 


Trust Me, We're Waving


Technical difficulties galore! The Facebook feed stopped recording before the end of the open mic, and no matter what I switched it to, the video is stuck in speaker mode (which means you see a lot of my stupid face). But we have video of Elizabeth Doran's reading, which will be posted soon., Thank you, Elizabeth for a wonderful performance! Thanks also to everyone who attended. We'll see you  next week as Valerie Loveland concludes our fifty-third anniversary month celebration.

May 22: Stone Soup Welcomes Back Elizabeth Doran

 
 
Elizabeth Doran featured multiple times during the early tenure of my days hosting and organizing Stone soup Poetry. I wanted her back multiple times, especially around may or September (Jack Powers' birthday), but I wasn't able to get my act together to ask. I'm glad to have finally gotten her back for Stone Soup's fifty-third anniversary month. Lots has happened since her last feature in 2011. I'm sure she'll tell you all about it.

Join us on May 22 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET by clicking this link.

Thank You for Coming


Another night of open mic poetry and returning faces, including Elizabeth Doran, seen here showing an old pic of Jack Powers I hadn't seen before. See you all next Wednesday!
