News Flash
And Cancellations

fine lines
and cover-ups
free time
and pickup trucks
bad rhymes
just short on luck
sweet limes
in whiskey cups
soft eyes
and ornery grins
tongue tied
chances are slim
rolled dice
aces with twins
sounds nice
run while you can
flashin' smiles
and troubled times
flashin' lights
are close behind
change up lanes
or change your mind
please, explain
why you're in a bind
ya stop fast
then you rewind
I'm a mile past
leavin' you behind
it's the same story
the same old lines
you're history
better say goodbye
had a good thing
and let it go
some country singin'
for a closed out show
nobody's listening
on the radio
guess you've been cancelled
and you didn't know
washed up
and washed away
save your glow up
for another day
I'm just too tired
to play this game
I'm uninspired
and you're kinda lame

Good job and in a way, this is a humorous poem.
Very well written, Kelli!
Great slam!! Would love to hear this performed! That pic is awesome!
This speaks to me...
The voice in this poem is awesome. Like Komal, I loved the mix of playful and intense. Very cool!
It’s a perfect mix of playful rhymes and biting commentary, creating a "news flash" that hits with humor and a touch of finality. A mic-drop moment in lyrical form—love it!
