Notes About The Poem

Throw Your Umbrella To the Wind

Throw your umbrella to the wind...
          Let mother nature generously bless you 
               With her therapeutic cloudburst 
       Take off the raincoat; get wet for a change
   Walk, better yet, prance under this heavy rainfall
                 Pause and listen attentively
       An angel is strumming his harp just for you
                   Don't run out of this rain
                 Let it spatter atop your head
                Go ahead, jump up and splash
            Into water puddles beneath your feet
        Twirl like a dervish and squeal with delight
                   As raindrops fall like confetti
             Here's your chance to be a kid again!
            Don't be shy, there isn't a soul in sight!
    Who knows when you'll get this opportunity again?
              A moment like this is one in a million
              Live for it; seize it with a vice-like grip

Nice! We should all return to our childhood and splash in a puddle once in a while.
