Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Myriads of Umbrellas

Myriads of umbrellas 
like I’ve never seen
floating upward brilliant red,
yellow, pink and green.

Many happy thoughts must be
in the springtime breeze,
or bright hope could not ascend
high above the trees!

Opened up, hope shelters us
from the rains of gloom.
Losing sight of happiness 
would be mankind’s doom.

Peace and love must guide our thoughts
so we might see rise
myriads of umbrellas
through all earth’s blue skies!


In 7/5 Trochee, rhyming style poem

Joe Flach March 7, 2014 at 1:18 AM Love this "ditty" Andrea. I just think the title phrase, "Myriads of Umbrellas" is pure genius. It is fun, expressive and unique. That one phrase should be the title of the picture your choose to write about. Nicely done. Joe

Robert Johnson February 28, 2014 at 6:33 PM Feet in the mud, trouncing in the rain. Without umbrella's we'd all just go insane. Like chinese torture, we'd surely lose our joy. So open them up bright and beautiful, every girl and boy. You have a beautiful umbrella Andrea. Peace. :)
