Compose a poem whose body is sourced from article headlines in your newspaper.
A ROCKY ROAD KIND OF DAY
Lean in
Eyes on the world
Vulnerable
In peril
Guilty
Secret kiss
Illegal coping
Reveal a derailed merger
Rising, soaring
Crash!
Losing streak feels like
A security flaw
A gap growing
A moving violation
A loss for all of us
Absence
No rescue
Absence of hope
No rescue
