News Cycle
Confession: I have been reading the news too much.
Hello poets and friends
I posted this week’s poem as an image, because I don’t trust Substack to maintain the formatting - especially on mobile. However, if you use a screen reader, then you can find the poem on this shared document over here!
Now, onto the poem.
NEWS CYCLE

So, I have been reading the news too much. Like way too much.
I wanted to convey some of the feverish frenzy that comes with 24/7 news cycles. The overwhelm of live updates and constant notifications of dystopian realities, juxtaposed with rampant consumerism, clickbait, and internet fluff.
The form of the poem is a mirror to the experience of reading the news: starting off as coherent and slowly disintegrating.
If you liked this piece, related to it, or have thoughts, then drop a comment!
I’ll be back next week with more writing. Until then, take care.
Love,
Anagha






Brilliant. Perfect. And sadly true…
