Notes About The Poem

Underneath the Red Umbrella

Underneath the red umbrella,
my Johnny stole a kiss from me,
so I felt like Cinderella,
for like a handsome prince was he.

Despite the cold, I melted when
underneath the red umbrella,
Johnny gazed into my eyes; then
whispered softly, “You’re my bella.”

Oh, the kiss from that sweet fellah!
Although the rain kept falling down,
underneath the red umbrella,
deep love  is what would make me drown.

Romance cut short – though filled with bliss  -
just didn't fill a novella.
Yet I cannot forget that kiss
underneath the red umbrella.

I love the way you were able to fit in the Red Umbrella in every stanza Andrea! I have not been able to come up with anything yet. Too busy cleaning house. LOL. Best of luck in the contest! : )

Don't have a clue why, but from the first word I read this in my head with a southern accent which was totally validated when you used, "fellah". This is a good time on a witty platter (I'm in a silly mood) Love ... CayCay
