Headlines
Form: Terza Rima Sonnet
Theme: Three
Subject: The News

They say bad news travels in three
Good news does it travel at all
It’s never on the BBC
‘Resign’ the political call
A celebrity died today
A royal has taken a fall
But joyful things – nothing to say
Is there nothing to make a smile
Is misery the only way
Fall in love for a little while
Reach for the stars and touch the sky
Make the effort and do the mile
Ignore the news it makes you cry
Let joy come lift the soul to sigh
One of the few reasons to smile from the BBC is the brilliant Owain, a demi-god of the drums

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
