Sam Kauffman Poet Alliteration

Umbrella

Umbrella	

Under an umber umbrella
An utter utopia spreads 
‘Neath ultramarine skies
As undertones of ube unwind
Upon a wildwood’s uplifting reflections
Through undulating naked boughs,
Upon the hideaways of hedgehogs
An acapella unison,
Utmost urbane contentment, 
Unleashed on unkempt undergrowth
To unmask a placid peace of bliss
A universal understanding 
Within this upbeat universe
Under an umber umbrella
