March is going
out
like a lion
this year
and I’m not talking about the weather
Two weeks ago someone asked me
What’s your weather?
and I said, it feels like a
storm
is brewing.
So maybe my new job
should be
fortune teller
My crystal ball tells you whether
your life will be this or that
Today at TJ Maxx
we saw a card
you are the teacher the world needs
it said and we had to decide
whether to laugh or cry
Whether your weather
is outside or in
lamb or lion
we can only choose to
March on
On a Thought 
Okay but seriously… mic drop?!?!? Wow. This was powerful. I love your play on words throughout this. You are the teacher the world needs 💕
The storms are rough, my friend. And during the storms it’s ok to have periods of torrential rains. …but walking through the storms, there are rainbows on the other side—glorious rainbows. 🙂
The trees are blooming, the bulbs are blooming, and it’s FRIGID out there! I can’t even with the bone-chilling wind and rain we had yesterday.
Okay well this was a master class on how to use play-on-words in poetry. You are the teacher that I need!
“we can only choose to / March on” I love this!!
What a delightful poem, with all its wonderful wordplay and truths! These last two stanzas especially hit home with me.
