Stone Soup Croutons, 2-15-23: Here is a Poem in a Family Way

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.

Skoot killed it on Wednesday. I looked a the overall them of the entire open mic and found it to be family. It got me thinking about family, and it became this poem, like it or not.

Stone Soup Croutons, 2-8-23: Time Off

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.

Black Byrd had to cancel this Wednesday due to a family emergency. I didn't get the news out in time and people showed up for the show. We had a couple of round robins and even had some people join by phone due to the new laid back vibe.

That's part of the reason why the poem is so short. The other reason is that I was in a bit of pain that night due to some tendon flare up in my left arm. I'm thankfully better now following a completely unrelated medical appointment I was stressed about yesterday. But on Wednesday, I was hurting bad.

Bottom line: On Wednesday I took no notes and had to commit everything to my increasingly faulty memory. I was also in a dark mood due to the pain. Sorry to anyone I may have been abrasive to. 

That explains the poem's curtness. It also explains my rare use of the pronoun "I."

 

Here's hoping I'm back in full gear next week for Skoot Mosby's online feature.

Thanks for reading.

February 15: Let's Skoot Over Back to Zoom

We're on month two of the new year and I already have multiple features for February with more to be announced for the months ahead. I want to and will debut new voices soon, but for now it's good to have an old friend back. I hope you all join us on the fifteenth of this month as poet and battle rapper at large Skoot Mosby makes a long awaited return to Stone Soup Poetry. Skoot has been a very busy man, and I can't wait to see that reflected in his new set for us.
