On Newspapers

 


After yesterday's terrible news about the Washington Post, I thought it might be a good time for nostalgic-- or not-- poems about newspapers. Here, I will go first:

Always nearby me
At home or when traveling
My daily truth bomb.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!

Comments:
Turn first to comics
Then horoscopes and sport scores
Finally the news
 
I "read" the "funnies"
Before I knew how to read
intro to sports, news
 
The Fairfax Journal
The Evening Star, The Post
Delivered them all
 
Bond Villian Jeff Bezos
Sucking up to Trump to get
Government contracts
 
MAGA hates "Deep State."
It's Gov'ment workers, but
Fed'ral contractors

 
Comes a time we’ll read
Our paper in the sand—truth
Hastily erase .
 
Love newspapers: a
Foundational part of my
Life since my childhood.

Small town papers like
the Townsman, Mid-York Weekly,
Center Daily Times.

And the Boston Globe,
the New York and Seattle Times,
and Richmond Dispatch!

 
Richmond Times Dispatch
helped us follow Aloka,
the monks to DC.
