Fake News - Real Storm

Wicked news flash - torrential storm - Purple 
streaks of confusion striking. Violent grey 
clouds spinning its evil. Hatred scattered 
in shreds of hail. Waves pounding 
against our aching skulls. Who 
can live dangerously and ride 
their storm. To roll with the 
thunder and never see blue
sky.   These puddles of 
tears splashing out of
fear.    All that made a 
clear day is spiralling 
out of control. How?
can we keep calm.  
Wake from this 
never ending 
storm. Brace 
yourself this 
may be a 
false 
wea

Carl Jent Date: 1/8/2018 1:19:00 PM Very Good poem, good style and lots of meaning. The news media is out of control or should I say totally controlled. I enjoyed this poem. I wrote a similar type poem about the news called 'Opinion About News Anchors' if you get time, check it out. Keep up the wonderful poems. Wayne Login to Reply
