One of those days

It is one of those days,
where you feel like,
curling up,
around someone.
and , just, feeling,
their warmth.

It is one of those days,
where you feel like taking a walk
and breathing in,
the chilly air.

It is one of those days,
where you feel like,
writing whatever
comes into your head.

It is one of those days,
when sheets of paper,
are scattered across your bed,
each telling a different story.

It is one of those days,
where you feel calm
and content,
with life around you.

It is one of those days,
where you feel asleep and awake,
both at the same time.

It is one of those days,
where everything
works out
perfectly.

It is one of those days.

I'm not really good at reviewing but I'm going to try anyway..be warned though XD
At first I want to say that I really love this poem..And yup those days are awesome!! And you have captured that feeling very well =)
There's just one little thing that I want to say:

It is one of those days,
where you feel like,
curling up,
around someone.
and , just, feeling, I think it would sound better if you would leave out the 'just'..but perhaps that is just me
their warmth.


My favorite part in this:
It is one of those days,
when sheets of paper,
are scattered across your bed,
each telling a different story.

I like it in the way that it describes a very relatable feeling. However, I don't like the unnecessary punctuation and changing the lines more than necessary. Other than that I completely understand exactly how you felt and you said it in a very clear very nice way!

I liked this. I agree with Amelia, though, you could use a different phrase as your theme. "One of those days..." I expected a depressing thing full of problems and events gone wrong. I was a little confused. That expectation actually stayed with me until close to the end, I just stared at it being confused saying, "Wait. Calm and content? On one of those days?" Just saying.

Hi! I really enjoyed your poem. I like the concept of the poem, although I tend to use the expression 'one of those days' when something bad's happened - for example - I've had one today - let's just say I had a disaster with a cake! lol. It is a little disjointed in some places; in others you use the wrong punctuation and your line arrangement isn't great in parts.
Here's a nitpick!

Idraax wrote:It is (the poem is light and mostly casual. I think you should write: it's, instead of it is )one of those days,
where (when?) you feel like, ( you don't need a comma)
curling up, (again, don't need comma)
around someone. ( eek, this doesn't sound too good. Try 'beside someone' and replace full stop with comma)
and , just, feeling, ( write: 'and just feeling)
their warmth.

It is (again, it's) one of those days,
where you feel like taking a walk
and breathing in, (don't need comma)
the chilly air. ( this sounds short and blunt. Use more adjectives to describe the air - ie, fresh, crisp, sharp ect)

It is ( see above) one of those days,
where you feel like, ( don't need comma)
writing whatever
comes into your head.

It is ( same applies) one of those days,
when sheets of paper,
are scattered across your bed,
each telling a different story.

It is ( "") one of those days,

It is ("")one of those days,
where you feel asleep and awake,

It is ("") one of those days,

It is ( "". Try adding just to emphesise your point a but more) one of those days.


All in all, a great poem. Keep up the good work,

~ Amelia
