Thanks so much Ulla. It's kinda sad for a reporter bad news is good news for him/her. I don't think I would enjoy it. Thanks again, Rox

Yes sadly for most news people a bad day and bad things happening is a good day for them. Thank you dear. Rox
Comment from Marie Foster1
A commentary on a real dilemma...writer's block. The level of despair pails however, compared to robbing a bank. Yes, it is true, if we hang in there, the inspiration will flow once more.

Yes for a reporter sadly the worst happening make for the best stories. Slow good days are killers. Of course today you are allowed to make up news. =} Though I don't doubt that has been going on since newspapers were invented. Thanks so much for the review. Appreciate it so much. Rox

Comment from Debbie Pope
So your story is on the surface about a journalist, huh? I thought that you were talking about yourself, even after I read the reference to a job. It is such a clever, well written poem. It works on both levels whether the writing is professional or otherwise. I like your ending. Sometimes a journalist gets a break with a news story. For the FanStory poet, material doesn't come as easily.
Nice job.

Well in a way it is about me too, I do want to Stand Out in my writing. =} and I do go through times when I can't think of a thing to write about. Frustrating. Have a picture to write about is both a challenge and a help. Thanks so much Debbie. Rox

I used to belong to the picture this group, (I was late all the time) but I lost out somewhere in the mix. Well done with this a great interpretation of the prompt. Written in neat, rhyming couplets, you've done an excellent excellent job Rox. Well done, blessings, Roy

I thought I'd give it a try as it could be a challenge and a help as to what to write about. Make me stretch a bit. You should come back and join again, you are such a great poet. Thanks so much Roy for the kind words and great review. Rox

A very well-written poem in couplet rhyming and an excellent interpretation of the pix this challenge. There is no cut off time, we are just not allowed to post before the given date of the prompt.

Comment from Angela Hayes
Good read, interesting, well presented..( check jist should be just), image to match of a man trying to do his best, but can't seem to think of something, artistic and poetic.
Good Luck!
