In Other News

This slice is part of the Slice of Life on  Two Writing Teachers! #sol24. I’m slicing on Tuesdays. I hope you’ll join me

I want to make a point,
or at least an analogy
so I close my eyes
what story could I tell
from today
from 10 years ago
from second grade?

Or rather
what story could I
share
because I have plenty to
tell
that email
that conversation
that canceled meeting

Today we cried about
a drink carrier
it was the one from our
first coffees
in our first home

Endings are beginnings
and all that jazz
so why do I hear The Doors
This is the end
Beautiful Friend
The end?

In other news,
I watched a Kindergarten class
cheer for a friend after he read
good Job! they said
we love you!
and I thought to myself
wow
kids really get
how to take care of each other

  1. Sometimes we have so much we could say and want to say but don’t know how to say it.

    I like how you arranged all of the thoughts running through your head into a poem.

    Yes, children know how to take care of each other. Why can’t we as adults do the same?

  2. It’s amazing how sometimes, when there’s too much to say, poetry is such a great way to express it.
