COVID-19 Writing Challenge: Each Day Of The Week, Will Serve As A Spine

On Thursday, March 26, 2020 the writing challenge was a 7 line poem.

The assignment read:

Seven days, seven lines.
Each day of the week,
will serve as the spine,

what you did each day

you will have to think

and that my friend

will serve as the link

Three days are gone
but don't let that
make your heart sink
Three are yet to come
You have time to sync.

Give it a shot

What do you have to lose

Hey, it might just help you 

get over the 'rona blues!!!

Here's what my blithe, bouncy, breezy, buoyant, budding biologists said:

I can’t even remember

What I have done

Every day is a blur

But this is what I know

I’ve been working with my parents

Painting and drawing

Reading and watching YouTube 

Well as the days go by

and my mind feels light

I might as well try my best to write - Me

Monday was strange, I was stressed to have rest

Tuesday was understanding, I saw that work wasn’t changing

Wednesday was okay, I had relief that I had some type of say 

Thursday feels the same, I have work and entertainment for days

Friday? I don’t know, it will be unbeknownst to me 

Saturday, so far yet so close, a parallel universe at most

Sunday, the dawn of a week, the rise of a world that I’ll seek

Monday: I bleached my hair, but oh well, it grows back. 

Tuesday: I did a whole lot of homework, I got back on track.

Wednesday: I babysat and, oh boy, I'm surprised I didn't have a heart attack.

Thursday: My dad got a tattoo and was a little cranky but I cut him some slack. 

Friday: I might dye my hair pink and purple with some hair dye called "Splat". 

Saturday: We might take out the grill and cook, though the meat comes out black.

Sunday: I might just paint something in my room, take it easy, and sit back. 

LIFE

I don't know why

Corona has me stuck

Roads are empty, no cars or trucks

Monday through Wednesday were all the same

I sat there bored playing the game

I hope my next 3 days are filled with joy

So I don't turn into that normal teenage boy

           

Looking forward to spring break

Staying up late

Marking off the days 

Hoping to catch a break

Baking up some treats

Planning a scheme 

To get ready for a new week

Waking up not having to go to school

I started to realize the days became too cool

Laying in bed all day with nothing to do,

I started to imagine if my future dreams were going to come true

I started to take up new hobbies, brightening my horizon

Only to realize as my days went by, I became more frightened

Oh my how the COVID-19 has made me and everyone else less united

I started the week off watching Netflix

The next making a poem

Questioning corona and what she is up to

Went to the dentist, four wisdom teeth need to be removed

I will be focusing on my shows

Starting a new show on Netflix

Can’t wait to dig in

These creative vents gave me an insight into how they are processing this crisis and making it work. How are you treading these uncharted waters?
