The Nightly Read
Daily News by Wils
Newspaper's farewell writing prompt entry

 

No more shall I smell the blackened ink

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

 



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.

Author Notes
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.
