Newspaper

by Jenni   Feb 5, 2012


Stop reading
my most inner thoughts
like they'd be presented
in your daily newspaper.

You should rather go for
the horoscope and
speculate about its truth.

I do not only want to be
- todays headline -
but philosophy of life.

You can't just pass me on
once you're done.

Either take out
a lifetime subscription
or close the magazine
right now!

    I liked the idea jenni of using the newspaper as a metaphor for your inner most feelings. the way u used the paper to covey this message is clever and innotive. the poem is quiet and also short. a newspaper is always disregarded and thrown out and through irony you get this across in your poem about not wanting to be used like the daily newspaper. i like this poem it was a clever poem done tastefully well.

    I giggled almost at how it started off with "Stop Reading"... Seriously.

    Who puts that at the beginning of their poem, it made me smile :D Haha~! I loved the poem though.

    I believe this piece was intended for the short piece you wrote. I do agree with Tara, the ending is a bit odd, but I don't know because it does make sense and it kind of adds to the poem but i guess most of the time poems need to "feel" write.

    It felt very powerful and i could feel all that was going on inside of your mind. Thank you for sharing this piece and there is so much more i Could say but i loved the poem and i believe anything i would say would have ruined this particular piece.

    Thank you :D
