Hi Beth
This poem uses personification well to reiterate what Donald Trump says a lot about any news about himself. I think this is especially true of the internet.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Good luck in the contest.
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Thank you Joan, I think there is fake news coming from both directions. Anyone can get away with any lies if that make them wild enough, people will believe them. Some come form other countries to try to divide us and they've done a pretty good job of it. It pays to check out everything on as many relieable sources as possible. Thanks for the nice review.

No problem, Beth.
Sadly, I think you are right.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Fake news travels quickly and that's frightening. They always say never believe what you hear until there is proof. We need to keep busy so we don't have time on our hands.

Thank you Rosemary. Fake news is everywhere and we have to try to find the truth an not buy into everything we read or see on the internet of even what we may hear on Television.
Comment from lyenochka
That's so true! And unfortunately, some of those fake news get so entrenched in the minds of those who believe it that even when evidence is put in front of them, they won't change their minds! Ack! Exasperation.
Good message and good use of alliteration. Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you Helen. This is true and I have to keep my opinions to myself because my childen claim the news they hear is the real news and I'm the one listening to fake news and they wouldn't never try to go to reliable sources to check it out.

You're a wise woman to keep your opinions quiet. It's so weird because it's usually the older folks who get entrenched into thinking but you're much more broad-minded and do your research to check on things. Appreciate you!!

Thank you Dolly. It seems that at least half of the people believe and don't bother trying to check it out to see if it is real.

That's for sure, Beth. I think fake news can travel faster than the real thing, The spicier the better. No one cares about the hum drum news about life. Good one!

Thank you, Carol. Yes the fake news seems more bizarre and fun to read so that the news people want. I appreciate the review and comments.

Comment from royowen
This is a great analogy, I may expand on its theme if that's OK Beth? You sent my thoughts in other directions, I wonder sometimes if we are God's messengers,, we certainly are. Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Thank you Roy, you might expand on it a bit more. I agree that we are God's messengers but I think the fake news make be those working for Satan trying to get word in. God doesn't like.

I agree, but we can all inadvertently be that.

I enjoyed this short poem very much, particularly the touches of alliteration. The message is particularly pertinent to our modern world, where anything transmitted on the internet is considered absolute truth. kay

Thank you, Kay. At least half of the people seem to find the fake news more interesting than the real, but you have to do a lot of checking to be able to tell the difference.
Comment from Kelly Hope
Another short but powerful piece. The ability to create so much of a sense of passion in a limited scenario shows true talent. Keep up the good work!!

Thank you Kelly. You have complimented this highly and I'm curious as to whether the three stars rather than the traditional five might have been a slip of your finger which is easy to do. We always give five until there are things to be corrected.

I corrected it. Please leave me feedback on my poetry if you can.

You did a great job with the syllable count for this poem, and I did like the imagery of fake news flying like feathers. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Thank you Jess. The fake news spreads faster that the real facts and it hard to tell the difference.

Comment from Ulla
Yes, the Internet is a curse in so many ways. It can be used as a great source of information, but unfortunately the opposite is also true.
Good luck in the contest with this little gem. Ulla xcx

Thank you Ulla, Yes it is curse in some ways but we almost feel we can't live without it. We just have to do our best to check out everything we read. With AI out there, you can't even believe what you hear and see in living color.

So very true. I stay away as much as I can.
