Keep my mind at ease.
Can’t bring my face to the stories today,
no free papers please.
The sinister squeezes
between the pages. I ignore what they say
to keep my mind at ease.
Letterbox empties
enough of life without news. So I pray
‘No free papers please.’
Written word junkies
read too much warring. They don’t know the way
to keep their minds at ease.
I’ve stopped the disease,
a sign on my front door keeps them at bay
‘NO FREE PAPERS PLEASE.’
Murderous weeklies
which killed good moods; gone now. This I daresay
will keep my mind at ease.
Please, no free papers please.

This is a Villanelle I wrote.
It's my attempt to make something of the signs people have on their doors. I think it's a British thing.

 reports, 1d 45m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

I like villanelle, I have never written one. I thought this one was pretty well written, overall, I could understand and relate to it more or less in spite of it being about something not from my culture.
I like the title
