L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Bumbershoot

I collapse when the weather is bright and sunny
When I am needed, I am nowhere to be found,
On a rainy day I am always pointing to the sky
Without me someone’s going to get drowned.

Caren Krutsinger October 6, 2021 at 12:33 PM I hope we won't be drowned on the ground! This would be crazy all around! L Milton Hankins October 6, 2021 at 12:41 PM Indeed. I ran across the word "Bumbershoot" and love it. Then when I found out what it meant, it leant itself to this little poem. Funny how certain words or sounds will trigger a verse.
