Yesterdays news

Ramblings from the squat poetry (I do like personification)

Old and worn
Yesterdays news
The same old story
A repeat of the same
You grabbed me
The last in the pile
Dusted my cover
Tore open the page
Read all
Of struggle
Of strife
Of pride
Of woe
Of misery
Of happiness
Of pain
You smoothed out the creases
You covered the tears
Read with patience
With kindness
With willing intent
Yesterdays news
A repeat of the same
Was enough to satisfy
Was enough to please
You solved the problems
At the back of the paper
The crossword
The cryptic
The trouble
The search
You made me yours
You made me new
You fixed it all
In yesterdays news
