Snowed In at St. Mary's: A Hospital Haiku
When the Blizzard Brings Bedlam
Snowflakes falling fast
Patients in, but can't get out
Nurse, where's the hot choc?
White blankets outside
But inside, chaos ensues
No snow day for us
Slippery hallways
Broken bones from snowball fights
Doctors on standby
Cafeteria closed
Nurse's potluck saves the day
Sandwiches galore
Scrubs and winter coats
Mismatched socks and fuzzy hats
Fashion faux pas reigns
Wheelchair races begin
Orderlies join in the fun
Who needs ER now?
Vaccine delivery
Snowplow stuck, no meds today
We'll just tell stories
Clock strikes midnight
Snowed in, but hearts are warm here
St. Mary's snow globe

Vale Perficientur
"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”
