Been Wanting to Do This One for a While

"Thank you, Mr." is an erasure poem taken from a 2021 piece from Howie Carr. Read it now at Medium. 

Heh

Taking a broken Boston Herald newspaper box and filling it with copies of Vision Times is hilariously appropriate.

It Really Does Feel Like Christmas at Work

Sadly, the holiday vacation will be over next week.

Boston Herald Delivery Guy Out Until Next Week

Sadly, the Boston Herald will continue to be printed during that time.

 

Dear Boston Herald

Now I'm officially ashamed to live in a two-paper town.

A child is an orphan after both parents were killed, and the AR-15 was legally bought by a person everyone is calling a kid.

But by all means, go with "Guy in a Dress" for your headline.

Maybe with the sensationalism, you can help drum up support all over the country for more anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation.

Drag Race: Chicago-area suspect dresses up as women to flee massacre site.

With the LGBTQIA+ community--the trans community especially--under prosecution and being labeled "groomers" by people pretending they don't know what that word means, this is incredibly wretched.

This isn't journalism. It's propaganda directed to the worst kind of people.

Another Poem Up for Wednesday

My Williams Carlos Williams-y poem "Sports Talk with the Fall of Democracy" is another piece inspired by my disgust towards The Boston Herald. It was just published in The Rye Whisky Review. Thanks to the editors for such a quick response. 

Gutsy?

 

I would never have had the guts to print this front page headline. I would be afraid of finding out that someone died as the paper was going to print. 

It Almost Feels Like Stalking

 

Herald Haiku

Dear Tom Brady: We

just want you to be happy

(and some of your hair).

 

My Unused Tom Brady Poem

I probably put too much time in this blackout/erasure poem, which never found a home in any online journal and now never will. Based on a March 17 artice from the Boston Herald, I had to make some kind of commentary on the gushing praise (tinged with entitled bitterness) for Tom Brady's departure for Florida.

Anyone who reads DC Comics will get this image.

What I think of When I Remember the Boston Herald's Coverage in November

 

Something Super Happy Fun

Here's the Boston Herald article that inspired my poem up at Headline Poetry & Press.

At Long Last

Finally! A Boston Herald Headline worthy of a real newspaper! No more chasing after Tom Brady for their front page, right? Right?!?

New American Haiku for the End of the World

When I started my Sarcastic Haiku series, I wrote my first American Haiku. You can read my first one, and others I've written since, by clicking here.

What World War Three What?!?
Tom Brady might retire!!!
Bury the lead! Bury the lead!



Update: The Globe wasn't much better, but at least Brady didn't take three quarters of the front page.

And unlike the Herald's "U.S. Blamed" line, at least the Globe waited long enough for the Pentagon to go, Yep, we done did that.
