Today I wasn’t supposed to go to school.
Today I was supposed to stay in bed and sleep in till ten.
Today I was supposed to watch all the T.V. in the world and do just that.
I can tell you what, that didn’t happen.
So, all I can say is,
“Ummm, what’s going on weather?”
Today I was supposed to stay in my pj’s all day.
Today I was supposed to do some stress relief painting.
Today I was supposed to take a nap.
I can tell you what, that didn’t happen.
So, all I can say is,
“Ummm, what’s going on weather?”
This is wrong,
This is crazy,
I’m supposed to be at home all lazy!
I can tell you what, that didn’t happen.
So, all I can say is,
“Ummm, what’s going on weather?”
This is a great poem! Isn’t the weather so baffling at this time of the year? We are so ready to see Old Man Winter go away, but he is a stubborn old guy…except for when we want him to be. A little temperamental, I would say!
Love it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the use of repetition here! And I ESPECIALLY love the part about “stress relief painting!” Oh MY do I need some of that!
Well done. I really enjoyed it.
I love how your voice comes through, Writer! Your style makes me smile. There’s a little rhyme for you. Hope you’re smiling too!
This is a wonderful poem that hits the mark with a national question asked by educators and students.
What a thought! I work at a neighboring middle school, so can absolutely understand when you ask, “Ummm, what’s going on weather?”. Well done!
I wish I had written this! Wow! The repetition in the first two stanza was so calm and reassuring with your “Today I was supposed to … options” and then when you changed up the content in the third stanza with short punchy lines . . .

What a great text! I live in the Midwest and I often say this about the weather and the weatherman’s prediction! Thanks so much for sharing!
I loved the poem! I love how this poem is something that I can relate to. Good job! ☺
Such a well-crafted poem! I love your repeating line “Umm…what’s going on weather”- it shows such voice and really pulls the poem together. I’m typing this on a snow day on the second day of spring so I can completely relate to your poem! I also love the repeating line of “Today I was supposed to” because it makes me feel your frustration of a snow day that was assured and then taken away!
