Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Red and White Polka Dot Umbrella

I have never seen colors like this in the sky!
They are brighter by the minute as I see
My mother gave me this umbrella to stay dry
So I came out in the rain and took it with me

This bench lifts me higher, as if I am tall
I wonder where all those colors go to?
Maybe, I can reach the rainbow after all?
If only I could fly, like the birds that flew

I don’t care about running to play now
The sky is playing above me, colors to see
I don’t want to leave or miss something, somehow
I am happy, here on this red bench beneath me
