Slice of Life: Day 9--"One of those days...."

This month I am participating in the Slice of Life challenge sponsored by the Two Writing Teachers website and blog. Join me!

One of those days...

Where hardly any of the to-dos got done

Nervous whispers filled the halls

Awkward attempts at humor

As we tried to alleviate some of the worry


One of those days...

When people lifted each other up

Kindness looked different

As we tried to find answers

To questions that we don't fully comprehend


One of those days...

You thought you were prepared for

That you made light of

So real possibilities

Could be ignored


One of those days...

When fear felt like a common bond

Frustrations were vented

Life couldn't be mapped out on a calendar

When the virus got just a little too close to home

It was one of those days.

  1. I love how the tension built throughout the poem - until it hit home and the length of the line slowed me down. This is happening everywhere -so glad you experienced kindness and bonds during this troubling time. Hang in there.
