Dancing Umbrellas

Last rainy day Bobby's dancing observation
About umbrellas seemed mystical revelation

Winds might have made bouncing umbrellas
Through four year old eyes look like funny fellas

Or a "Brella Ballet" pirouetting
On point like tops spinning

And Singin' in the Rain
Could be an accurate refrain

When I see him again
I'll ask him to explain

Greg Gaul Date: 8/12/2018 11:47:00 AM Jan, thanks muchly for the comment. Bobby in the poem age four now, disavows ever having said "dancing umbrellas". Kids say the darndest things. Go figure. Keep that ink flying Jan. Login to Reply

Jan Allison Date: 8/12/2018 5:53:00 AM absolutely charming poem Greg, I especially loved the third stanza. My son is home for a flying visit and borrowed my brolly - its the first time it's been used in many many years as it's usually too windy to put one up without it ending up in the umbrella graveyard of twisted spines and cloth!:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply
