(ups And Downs Collection) Good News Is No News Poem by Janice Windle

very true...good news is like the sun came out today..or may be another day came..very natural..nothing sensational..lovely

That's a good point Onelia. I like receiving comments that make me think - after all nothing is perfect (not even me, Ha! Ha!) and I never take offence or delet sincere criticism as long as they are worded kindly. It makes me change and develop a poem sometimes. If I am approached to comment on poems on here (as I often am) , and I can't say anything constructive, I usually delet the message but sometimes I make my detailed suggestions in a private message, In your case, dear Onelia, you always tell me nice things! Including this comment. I had some doubts about this poem when I jotted it down in a fit of poetic angst. Thinking about Obama, perhaps I should have included a line about 'A government that is uncorrupted, without stain' Poor Obama has already got scandals to live down (or better, to correct) . Thanks again for your usual insightful reading.

Is the positive comment a comment? :) I agree with you about the common inclination to take the good news as no news, especially regarding the world of media, but I am just watching the news on tv - president Obama en route to White House :) Sometimes a precedent becomes a news too. Your poem is really though provoking even in the context of what happens today. Good job, Janice!
