Umbrella

Umbrella Under an umber umbrella An utter utopia spreads ‘Neath ultramarine skies As undertones of ube unwind Upon a wildwood’s uplifting reflections Through undulating naked boughs, Upon the hideaways of hedgehogs An acapella unison, Utmost urbane contentment, Unleashed on unkempt undergrowth To unmask a placid peace of bliss A universal understanding Within this upbeat universe Under an umber umbrella 11-8-22 Contest: Writing Challenge Unburden a "U" Sponsor: Constance La France “ube” is a yam with purple hues.

Hi Michelle! Thank you for your delightful feedback and your congratulations. When writing this poem I drew on all of those times when I stood in the tranquility of a northwest forest in the fall feeling that peace and seeing that golden beauty amid the old blackberry canes, huckleberry bushes, Oregon grape and ferns! It really puts a :) on my face to know you liked it. Blessings to you!

Many thanks Constance not only for your placement but your lovely feedback. The "umber umbrella" took me back to fall walks in the northwest woods - standing under the canopies of the trees being inspired by their poems and feeling gratitude to God for this amamzing experience. Blessings to you!

Eve, please forgive my delayed response! Thank you so much. Having grown up in the northwest, umbrellas were just a part of every day life. And I remember standing under the umber umbrella canopies in the forest during fall listening to the rain. Truly magical and very enchanting! Hope you are well dear friend. Sending you blessings of grace and peace.
