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 collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.
Dexter Garcia killed it at Stone Soup on Wednesday. I'm so glad to finally have her back. I loved it even when her son could be heard in the background. We got Ethan to play intermission music when the kid needed water, so it was all good.
It's a short poem this week. If nothing else, please consider buying Dexter's new book. That will be better than you saying you like this poem. Thanks for reading.
