Poem: The Newspaper on the 13th of June

 by Abriti G

To create my poem, I got read and collated extracts from newspaper headlines on a single day (13th June, 2024) and juxtaposed them in order to create a poem that captured the news that day. News reports and poems are very different in regard to structure, style and purpose, so it was interesting to see the effect, as well as being just a fun thing I did with my friends and. As I felt it was so personally enjoyable and artistically successful, I decided to post it on Portsmouth Point. I think it went well and I would definitely do this again if I find interesting headlines.
