  • Looking Like a Lion

    When I look at the sky I hear Beethoven
    Fierce chords and crescendos
    As cumulonimbus clouds sail by
    His 5th symphony plays in the wind
    Soon the thunder and lightning join
    Resonating in my chest
    As I’m sure it did in his
    To bypass deaf ears

    This is my offering for the Winter Scavenger Hunt 2017 using prompt #9 - mention a famous composer. It is now March and it certainly looks like this month is going to be very lion-like this year. The upside is that according to folklore March should go out "like a lamb" meaning we will have mild weather at the end of this volatile weather month. In the interim I'm torn between swapping the winter clothes out for the spring finery. My heavy winter coat really should go to the cleaners but I'm afraid that as soon as I send it off to be cleaned it will snow! So in an effort to avoid any more frozen precipitation my coats will stay in the closet. You can all thank me later.

  • Yay for spring! I'm so glad it's on it's way. I'll have no sad goodbyes with winter clothes. :)

    • IMy sinuses are not happy with the abrupt changes in the barometer! I'm not a fan of winter thunderstorms!!

  • I like your poem.
    However,
    I don't want it to get any warmer here. It's already mid 70's. Any hotter and I'll perspire, which is so not fun or attractive. I am in no hurry to see people in short shorts and spaghetti straps.

    • Hehe! I would welcome 70-80 degree weather right now! It was sunny but the wind was bitterly cold - then it warmed up to 50 degrees. The fluctuations are giving me sinus headaches that are just killing me!

  • I can only assume it is Spring from the oak tree that is in the process of cycling and bluebonnets are in bloom. Plus yesterday I was in shorts. :-)

    • Shorts. Hmm. Not likely to happen for me any time soon. I need HOT weather to put on shorts. Although there were plenty of students on campus who broke out the shorts when we had the warm temps in February!
