Learning To Be A Person
An angry 4 year old
with perceived
injustice —
a hurricane
of screaming,
wild and destructive.
When the storm is over
another rung
ascended;
lap time, tight embrace,
another angel
tended.

I’ve seen this 4-year-old in action before. Can’t you imagine how hard it must be to put emotions into words at that age?
That’s lovely!

Thank you poets! Todd Parr’s book Feelings helps to have conversation with the lovely little monster as the storm is blowing past.
Wonderful description of 4 year old reaction and reasonable response
