Stone Soup Croutons, 3-29-23: Single Life

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.

On Wednesday, Frances Donovan closed out the month perfectly. They will be a hard act to follow. I hope you donate to their Venmo via @fdonovanpoet or their PayPal link  here. I hope you go back to hear their feature. 

This poem took a weird turn and became kind of a flashback poem, relating to a time that no longer exists for me. I credit the poetry of Frances for evoking things from a past life I hadn't considered for a long time. 

Once again, the poem feels completely detached from the reading, which I hope you watch if you weren't in the audience.

Interesting to get this out before the National Poetry Writing Month challenge. 

Thanks for reading.

Single Life

 

Pie on face long enough 

becomes face. You pray:

Someone brilliant please
