Newspaper Snippet

by N J Thornton   Apr 18, 2007


Chestnut eyes skimmed a crisp page
of the free travel newspaper.
As fingertips curled the page,
the bus hauled us over a speed bump.

Her startled brows raised as a
sigh urged the inked captions on.
Fingers folded the bottom corner
as nails scored , and she tore the page...

I caught a glimpse of her snippet
and my cynical mind breathed,
"who takes notice of horoscopes anymore?"
Then, I saw her smile
as she folded the paper neatly.

"I wonder what mine says..."

**A girl on the bus did this. So my odd mind made me write about it!**

    Mmm. you poems are truly amazing. they are so unique.

    i decided to read some of your poems for inspiration. i have to write a poem that is a little awkward and out there. so i thought maybe id find some crazy silver jay poem that will turn on a few more switches.

    i liked this, it was so normal, but unique. =] 55

    Hmm, it's different. It's good though. Using words like skimmed, crisp, cynical, made it seem more poetry like. Even though it was only about a newspaper. I enjoyed it very much so. Good job, it flowed okay. Not the best, but was good. Keep writing. =) 5/5
