but there it is
like poetry to me -
my telescoping
handy-dandy
umbrella
hanging on its trusty hook
by the door
waiting for rain -
a long wait
in sunny California.
but there it is
waiting for the gloom.
waiting for its chance
to light up the world
with its rainbow brilliance.
waiting to display its cheer
and utility
on some hoped-for day
on which both
are in short supply.
The tone works very well and does justice to an item we tend to think is all wet.....very quaint and very subtle...I hope your friend gets quenched and drenched very soon. Thanks for sharing.
