TV dinner
dinner with the news
ash in a dish of evening
my coffee an argument against
that overbalance of propriety
Poems on the topic: news
Poems on the topic “news” on Poets.by.
Idealist
who sees the world without rags
without imperfection
taking a kind farewell to sad news
who is rich already
with what he saves in sorrow
Helpless
morning news—
I wonder what to do
what to do in a lodging
without a door
where I lie in amber
Epicurean lament
This morning paper
is raw theater—
love in a maze
of strange straits.
A peace made
upon good terms
is news.
Each of us lives
but is ashamed to be,
resolving to see
pleasure fall.
The real news
Where the news is
is the news:
the fleet in the bay,
this wayward isle of noon,
a dinner of simple light.
Sometimes the parliament,
when all question whether
to pay some rose,
is found burning.
Loose lips sink ships
In the coffee house,
talk is a great wind.
Trees blow down
and we have letters from the forest.
A thousand oaks walk to Brampton
in the news:
they make a good tale, thieves
that rob us of time.
The Screen
Press the one powerful button,
See the shimmering colorful light,
Scroll through the smooth cold surface,
Don’t know what to tap on?
Can’t blame you
Expecting a notification?
Not happening, no not now,
Look at you, what did you hope for?
Trust me there is nothing new to see,
It’s not a party of some kind,
Just some worked off millennials,
Eagerly waiting,
May be a grand celebrity breaking news,
Or some funny vines and tiktok videos
Breaking news!
There is nothing new there,
Describe a feeling — we’ll find a poem
