Stone Soup Croutons, 6-18-25: Staying Home

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.

Thank you, Marvin Louis Dorsey. We enjoyed your feature. The rest of you can watch it and forgive my face for somehow getting in the way of Mark State's poem. I enjoyed his poetic librettos and tried to create an appropriately tight poem. Well, tight for a crouton poem at any rate.

 

I hope to see Marvin, and the rest of you, as you join me next week for Nina LaNegra's feature.  

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Staying Home

Your presence in 

the cubicle keeps

building's rent low. 

That's a relief.

 

To be a child,

only needing walls 

of earth to be safe 

from icy hands.
