Lovely, Jennie! This is a great testament to those who strive to be different and not fall into the constant mold, which I can assume is the "black umbrella". I love the choice of color for the umbrella, what inspired it? I myself have a blue one (with polka dots) haha. :)
Enjoyed it a lot! Well done :):)

Love your blue polka dot one, though! This is simply about standing out from the crowd and being memorable (in a positive way, of course). I'm so happy you liked it!
Not only umbrella but my dresses, shoes, shirts, and pants are black as well. I love how this poem has affected me and how it led me to reflect of my own dullness. Haha. Next time, I'll wear bright colors and have a brighter perspective in life. Great job, Miss Jennie!

I'm so glad you liked this little poem Blue; it's truly gratifying.
Something bright to cheer up a gloomy, cloudy day is always appreciated and admired.
Reflection on the experience with joy!
I never have good luck with umbrellas though--they either break or come up missing.
The wind tends to damage the ones I purchase and make them useless.
however, I love seeing colorful ones against the wet, gray clouds and tumbling skies.

If I can bring some cheer to a gloomy day, I've accomplished my mission in writing! Many thanks!
Oh yes Jennie. I nice big yellow umbrella not only keeps the rain off, but provides
the sunshine that is missing.
Even the dullest, dreariest of our days can be brightened by the "yellow umbrella"
we all carry with us, within us.

So happy that you enjoyed it! Thanks much for stopping by to read.
Jennie: Once again, I can tell you're an accomplished poet. I loved it. I wrote a poem, never revisited and I swear, the lady had a large yellow purse: I actually began with yellow. To be unique, to find yourself, no matter what society's dogma places upon us is the way to go. Yellow Umbrella, wow, I wish I had one. I've always expressed myself through fashion, and once my daughter said to someone, she dresses differently. I didn't ask her, but it made me smile. I don't mean green zebra striped tights, with a purple scarf, but the challenge to find something different is fun to me, because, we all are individuals. No? Thank you once again. Great poem! Dale
