SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 2-17-21: Bloody


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 an award nominated book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it. 

zaji gave us a wonderful feature on Wednesday. A nice interlude before the latest winter storm. Thanks ot Tznya Pinchback for introducing us. Thanks to Martha Boss for stopping by! 

I wrote a Valentine-ish poem last week, but for some reason Patricia Carragon's opening poem made me want to do an anti-valentine poem. Took inspiration for the title from my favorite Valentine's-themed horror movie (or is there only that one). Yes, I'm blaming Patricia It's all I got this week. Thanks for reading.


Bloody

Wear black for your
weekend long
Valentine's protest.

Enough silence
in one bedroom
to wake a baby.

February 17: Stone Soup Keeps the New Blood Flowing



This past Wednesday during Tzynya Pinchback's feature, we also enjoyed a debut to our open mic by a poet and writer named zaji. It was just one poem, and I wanted to hear more. These days with poets that drop in, you have to strike while the iron is hot, or you might never hear from them again. I asked how did a feature later this month sound. It sounded great to both of us, so now you can hear more of her work on the seventeenth.
