Newscast

A rhyming nonet about the news.

Newscast      ( rhyming nonet )

 

Sad images march across my brain,

threats of violence, cries of pain,

newscasts meant to entertain,

a list of warriors slain

for oil or cocaine,

a woeful bane

that's inane,

a main

drain.

Nicely done. The message is clearly written out in a nice form.

Thanks, Penwriter! It's somewhat like composing a mathematical proof or an assembly language computer program. Either everything fits, or nothing fits.

[Atthis Rose]

You're really good at this aren't you

[Aethereal]

[Aethereal]

You got it just right. I try to avoid this as much as possible. Angi~

Thanks, Angi! The news just seems to repeat itself, but with other names, and places.
