Headline.

The snow is falling down,
and the trains they all stand still.

The people turn and frown,
as our livestock all falls ill.

The Germans are being cautious,
as we infected their sheep.

The farmers are all nautious,
because of lack of sleep.

There are two friendly rivals,
and England she must win,
we welcome the arrival,
but a new era must begin.

A train has crashed
and it's bringing great sorrow
30 bodies smashed
and that's the headlines until tomorrow...

I liked this poem. The title is very sutible. I'm not sure if it has unseen meaning underneath the poem, or if it was just written, but thats just me trying to dig too deep. hehe. Anyway, keep writing! :o)

Another great work.  I love the transition from couplets to quatrains.  Very nice, it really affected the feel of the poem for me.  I also agree with AB that the title is very appropriate.  
Another awesome work, Zu.

Wow, Andrew, your work as of late has been VERY impressive!  I loved the style of this poem.  The format really goes well with what you're trying to say, and the ending really hit hard!  nicely done.

Did this really happen? If so then that sucks. I felt you did good on the poem though. Nicely done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I admire it daily

Very interesting read Zu.  Hope this isn't based on reality.  Thanks for sharing

Ditto to everyone on the format coments and it had real emotional depth to it too, good job on this one.
