Stone Soup Croutons, 8-21-24: All Too Conventional

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.

R.M. Englehardt performed on Wednesday. Been waiting for this one all summer. Great night despite a couple of us missing out due to bad internet. 

 

How I can write a poem about a more(?) demonic Republican National Convention when we just had an absolutely wild Democratic National Convention is beyond me.  Patricia Carragon and Richard Spisak got me going, and R.M. brought me home. Thanks to all of them.

All Too Conventional

 

Outside eternal rally,

it's Bring You Own 

Marie Marie Antoinette.

Inside, conteestants

line up for most

R.M. Engelhardt Features at Stone Soup Poetry, 8-21-24

From this week's online gathering. Like your Bukowski with a little east coast swing. This is your feature. So glad to have Mr. Engelhardt with us at long last. 

 

Hello and Goodbye from Albany

Thanks to R.M. Engelhardt for a wonderful feature last night. We are looking forward to his new book and his online event this November. We will share more details as they come. 

The Time is Coming (and Can't Come Fast Enough)

Join me later as I prepare to head home and prepare for Stone Soup Poetry. R.M. Engelhardt is featuring tonight and I can't wait. Hopefully, you can't either and will be in the virtual crowd with me.

Get Ready

Join us tonight for R.M. Engelhardt's Stone Soup Poetry feature.

R.M. Engelhardt features this week at Stone Soup Poetry. 

August 21: And Here is R.M. Engelhardt at Stone Soup Poetry

 

 

R.M. Engelhardt has been a constant presence online thanks to his DEAD MAN'S PRESS Facebook group. A poet, a publisher and a tireless patron of poetry (his memes could easily go toe to toe with Jeremiah Walton's if they weren't on the same side). He has a new book coming out and a livestreaming event this November. Now is the perfect time to get acquainted with his work. Join us at Stone Soup this Wednesday for Engelhardt's feature. 

Join us on August 21 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET by clicking this link.
