The Hour Has Almost Come
Mark Lipman is featuring tonight at Stone Soup Poetry. I'm expecting some friends tonight. I hope that includes you.
Those Mornings...
You know, those mornings when you're running late, finally get in and five hours into your shift someone comes in and says, "Oh, you're here? We had fifteen people for you but you weren't around at 8:25 so we wrote you off as either kidnapped or huffing paint at home!"
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
Simple
Poetry by Roberta Francis and artwork by Ira Joel Haber close out our Wednesday at Oddball Magazine. Thanks for reading us today.
A Moment
Happy to have a photography with poem by Oddball newcomer Selena Thomas. Another Wednesday is underway over at Oddball Magazine.
A Moment of Comics
An iconic "Peanuts" Mother's Day strip featuring Good ol' Woodstock and one of his many futile attempts to see his mom. Hope your Mother's Day weekend goes better.
American Haiku: Plot Synopsis
When I started my Sarcastic Haiku series, I wrote my first American Haiku.
An American Haiku doesn't care about tradition, formality or history. it takes as long as it wants to make its point because America. You can read

Most boring porno ever...

This Thursday: Michael Keith at the Virtual Dire Literary Series
Worried
Saw this "Caution/Pesticide Application/Keep Off" sign on my lawn and now I'm concerned for the rabbits that have been seen around my neighborhood for a while since being displaced by the construction a few blocks away. I don't want to Watership Down any of them!
How's Your Week Going?
Here's poet Liam Gaynor and artist DL Polonsky over at Oddball Magazine to make you feel better about your Tuesday.
This Week's Most Distinguished Network Name
It's amazing what people will name their online networks. I'm always trying to hijack Wi-Fi when I'm commuting, so I often come across a number of interesting names. Every Tuesday, I post the most impressive and/or cringe-inducing names.

One for May
Submitted my limerick to Madeleine Begun Kane's latest limerick-off. The rest of you have until June 1 to submit a limerick with "slip" or "slipped" at the end of any line (or a limerick on the theme of deceit, or on based on a random word generated challenge).
Drugs Ruin Everything
It's just a cartoon illustration of a lure, but I still think it's a drug reference.
This Week's Friendly Reminder
To all the police out there: You were not loved before by many people. In recent weeks, you are loved even less. If you can't at least understand why, you need to be something else.
My Monday Morning Music
This week I'm focusing on music I discovered tor rediscovered hanks to classic "Beavis and Butthead" making fun of their videos. First up is MC 900 Ft. Jesus.

Your Weekly Dose of God
Yesterday I was handed this paper courtesy of The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. They know how to catch your eye with a cover story like "How to change your family."

For Wisdom's Sake
Wise Words by Bruce Wise is up now at Oddball Magazine. Thanks for reading us this week.
Already Thinking Ahead
Thinking of a new issue of Stone's Throw already.
The issue's title: "Unalive the Algorithm!"
Who's with me?
Stone Soup Croutons, 5-1-24: They're Coming
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.
Stone Soup Poetry turned fifty-three on Wednesday. It was an all-open mic due to some rescheduling of features that had to be done. We have a good list of performers this month.
I'm pretty sure the first Stone Soup Crouton during Stone Soup's anniversary month is a bit of a downer I think it's the combination of getting older, feeling older, feeling every is futile, and still feeling exhausted after National Poetry Month.
Yeah, this one's no different.
Hey, I had a pretty good April. This is the comedown.
Thanks for reading.
They're Coming
Walking around like
Holden Caulfield
in hunter's raiment
you never earned.
My Friday Morning Music
I think I heard this in the Tower Records store. Not sure. It didn't get radio play, but this Led Zeppelin cover made an impression on me.

Hurry Up!
Akitsu Quarterly is accepting submissions for their Fall/Winter 2024 issue. The call for work stops when their issue is filled.
At Last
Now I'm ready to send out the proof of Stone's Throw #7 to the contributors. Took me long enough.
Edit: Dammit! Now I'm waiting on one more person. This is going to be worth it, I swear.
Karmic Cause and Effect
James Van Looy's poem column returns! It's All One Thing is ready to read over at Oddball Magazine.
Stone Soup Poetry's Fifty-Third Anniversary All-Open Mic, 5-1-24

The Anniversary Month Has Begun

My Anti-Manifesto
