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.
Last week, Sue Savoy featured at Stone Soup Poetry. Then many things happened between Friday and Monday morning, making this crouton poem very late. I'm glad I got the video of Sue's reading up as it was very well received.
I still have this week's Crouton to write. The best way to push through when you have self-imposed deadlines is to write your poem like you're writing a Sue Savoy poem (or try to anyway).Sue's poems are fun to listen to, so it was fun to make the attempt.
Thanks for reading.
Final Act
A man rising from
his set on the train
to let you sit just
might make up
for the stray cat
biting you when
you tried to pet it.
