I'll miss the stains upon my hand
It's headlines no longer viewed
Sad day in paper land
When doors close for the

Newspaper's farewell writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a poem of any type on the decline of the Newspaper in media circles. Can be funny or serious, with a historical dimension perhaps.


The Daily News ran in Western Australia from 1894 - 1990. I sold one of the last copies, it really was an end of an era.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
