Consuming News

by HollyJ

Days Flash by. Each busier than the last. And nervousness snakes in. Anticipation grows. Excitement lies in wait, strikes out – swallowing everything whole. Reason lessens, doubt settles in. Another day passes a week – a month – a thought – Word comes. And all worry, all doubt is left behind. And without fail the next problem snakes in.

I think it's so cool how you made each line a different length because it really shows the abrupt starts and stops that go on in a day. This writing style reminded me a lot of Emily Dickinson's poems, too!
