Unexpected news…truth broke out.
Every day I read
bad news, my heart it
broke, so I choose to
stop reading print, no red top
rags or broadsheet columns scanned.
Every day I read
fake news, my heart it
broke, so I choose to
stop mindless scrolling, on
social media, ignoring trolls.
Unexpectedly truth
broke out, usually
lies have run halfway.
around the globe before the
truth has got her pants on.
Today’s prompt comes from the Instagram account of Sundress
Publications, which posts a writing prompt every day, all year long. This one
is short and sweet: write a poem in the form of a news article you wish would
come out tomorrow.
Added a little nod to Terry Pratchett
