My day, True or False?


This slice is part of 
of the March Slice of Life Challenge on  Two Writing Teachers! #sol25. I’m slicing every day in March. Thanks for stopping by!

I first tried this format hereand then here originally from Ethical ELA: A True or False List Poem . . . There are some things that are true, there are some things that are false, and you’ll never really know!

My day, True or False?

Today I
Bought 14 bagels
Did not finish my coffee
Cried with a friend in grief
Read one chapter of Onyx Storm
Went fishing at a Fisherman’s Paradise
Saw a hill full of leaves turn into a hill full of snakes
Walked over 10,000 steps and right by a man praying by the stream, hunched over with his head on a cloth
Took a trail next to a path full of gravel
Only talked to one of my three children
Threw my wedding dress into a fire
Watched my dog eat a guitar and a bone
Only wrote one school email
Changed my bra to go to dinner
Drank a bottle of wine
Or did I?

  1. I love this! I hope you really did get to go to Fisherman’s Paradise. Such a beautiful day and a beautiful place! The hatchery is my favorite!

  2. “Or did I?” I love that line. It was a fun read. Reading your true or false accounts of your day. Thank you for sharing it!

  3. I love this! I found myself wondering…which ones are lies? Did she just change one detail to make a truth into a lie? Like…did she really buy 14 bagels, or was it 11??
