Every day on the Daily Poet we present the day's news in poetry form. Do you want to play too? Simply pick a news item and place your poem in the comments below. Poetry and news. These two were meant to be wed.
Look
up above
that is no bird
it is a drone
how to hide?
just go inside?
no, use the trees
or frequencies
break some glass
and then amass
it all upon a car
or a house on its tar
but my roof is made of clay
that's okay
shoot it down
or just get down
do not stay in the same place
and be sure to quickly race
go subterranean
to save your cranium

Now I just need several thousand dollars to buy that Russian equipment and my local police force can drone away all they want.

Please forward that pdf to your favorite survivalist for brownie points, you know, in case you actually have to use their shelter.
