March Winds

As I made my way to my exercise class this morning, the winds of March blew throughout our community.  A Christina Rossetti poem reminded me that she, too, felt the strength of the wind in the 19th Century. She asked an interesting question at the onset of her two-stanza poem: Who has seen the wind?

I may not have seen the wind early this morning, but my friends and I certainly felt its chill and force. In the late afternoon, the March wind continued to roar even louder while I sat in the house. My patio became dishshelved and the top of the table umbrella broke off.

Yes, the wind was forceful today so I say, HANG ON to your patio furniture, dress in layers, and WONDER what's next.

Who has seen the winds of March

come rummaging by?

Picking up furniture, as if

he's the strongest guy.

His strength and power

swoops everything in sight

within one single hour

he soars into the night.

Parents, Teachers, and Librarians: 

As the winter winds of March come roaring in like a lion, have some fun with children. Read Wonderopolis - Wonder of the Day #1407 and check out the fun activities for a science lesson.

Write a poem like I did to get ready for April's Poetry Month, or listen to music(see below).

You are my child

You came like the winds of march

With all the love in your eyes

You are my child

You came like the morning lights

With all your love, in your eyes.

As the wind continues its willful path of making the tall trees sway and

bushes shimmy, I wave goodbye and join
