having trouble blogging
my head is densely fogging
deep night with my daughter
some sleep i really oughta
but it’s now six o’clock
and i’m still taking stock
the school day is behind me
yet at my desk you’ll find me
t’was meeting after school
corona virus ghoul
the topic of the day
and how to plot the way
the lateness finds us done
we really need to run
another shift awaits
there’s still more on out plates
family, kids, and dinner
you’d think we’d all be thinner
from all the running ’round
the feet scarce touch the ground
eventually, in time
that pillow i will find
to rest, recharge, refuel
and be here back at school
this blog is wearing thin
a prize it will not win
it’s best that I can do
in moments that are few
thanks for reading through it
you’re why I tried to do it

I am glad you wrote and posted it. Your poem has such a fun beat to it! You picked just the right words to keep it playful. I liked the image of “another shift awaits”

As if you would ever fail to deliver…and this one in verse!

I loved how the repetitive nature of poetry conveyed another layer of how you were feeling, beyond your words! You showed us so much with this poem, and probably don’t even realize how enjoyable it was to read, though we could feel what you were feeling.

Yes slog is a really good word to describe what you portray in the poem, just trying to put one foot in front of the other. You’ve lightened the poem with little touches of humour along the way…great!

Thank you! Trying to see the lightness seems to make it better, right? Our blogs can lift each other up a bit, I hope.

I really enjoyed your poem. I felt similarly too today but didn’t come up with something quite as creative. I liked the ‘‘twas meeting after school coronavirus ghoul.”

Thank you! Fortunately, once the cadence found me, it flowed pretty smoothly on its own:)
