Comment from Cindy Decker

Excellent

The photo and poem are an excellent combination. Newspapers are all about 'truth,' and your poem rings true. A succinct, creative way to tell of the decline of newspapers. Good luck in the contest

Excellent 5-7-5 synopsis of the decline of print media in favor of technology, especially our cellphones, notebooks, tablets and laptops -- and particularly the rapid decline of newsprint. The words are very descriptive, especially the sounds: "rustle" vs. "quick techie click." The picture is amazing!

In only seventeen syllables you have starkly described the fate of newspapers in the past decade. One wonders if the next generation will even know what they were. Good luck in this contest. Rod

I think this is a good entry for the Newspaper's farewell writing prompt.
This short verse tells of loss of the rustle of a newspaper, being replaced by clicks.
Well done and good luck to you with the contest.
Sharon
