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!
This is really cool. I too am afraid of becoming one of those "Black-umbrella" folks whose lives are so dull and depressing. Although I do have my moments. Great imagery. I loved it. Stay inspired.

I need some good wishes to stay inspired; I haven't written a new poem in a while. But I've been thinking of submitting some for publication, and this has been well received, so it might be a possibility. Thank you so much!
Hi Jennie. We find true inspiration to reward ourselves with betterment in the most unusual places. I love that thought of buying a yellow umbrella. Shake your personality loose and escape the humdrum. Well done, alf

Oh wow, I adore the symbolism of this poem. It's a snapshot of 'ah ha' moment. A pivotal milestone, if you will. It's simplicity tells volumes too, with how the simplest of things can be moving and deeply felt. It's amazing how colors can lighten our mood and strike us in times as this. I also see the idea of being playful, and light hearted in order to enjoy the bad weather that life throws at us. This is a charming vision that you've shared, thank you for that. I see we have some commonalities too, music and region. :) Happy writing to you! Respectfully, blue angel

Very charming little poem. You clearly have a great talent for painting a vivid picture with the least amount of words possible, for example your first stanza here absolutely made me feel like I was watching the scene unfold, rather than merely reading it. A rare gift to be sure, and the message is a fantastic one. Thanks for posting. :)

This made me Giggle the Rain is very happy to me

Ah a Bright Yellow Umbrella
well the yellow Rose it means Friendship
Joy sunshine all the yellowy Bright happy things.
We have a beautiful blue and gray umbrella
Blue and Turquoise and dark reds are my favorite
colors not a gloomy person per say the rain you
can jump in the puddles I am a Child at heart :)
and you can see the crystal droplets
making music everywhere when we don't get rain I love
it and it is so soothing to me.
Out on the street on a rainy day
A woman with a yellow umbrella caught my eye.
She’ll never know how the sight affected me
How cheery and jaunty it looked
Amid the gloom,
The fog on my car windows,
And the rain streaming down on them.
Thank you for this Lovely
jaunty little piece I enjoyed reading this
and thank you for your kind review and comments
you left on my page.
This is going to my favorites.
Have a Blessed Thursday. Benita

There's nothing like colour on a dark day to lift the eyes from the puddles and the mind from anything and everything. There's a series of lovely scenes wrapped in feelings here, seems very real. And I love brollies!
Fun read. finely phrased.. and carrying me off and away with a grin! Thank you.

Music is a huge part of my life and an inspiration. My favorite bands include Train, Imagine Dragons, James, Matchbox Twenty, etc. And of course I still listen to all of those classic-rock songs tha.. more..
