winter rain watering the flowers on her umbrella

Issue 20.1 | 23 June 2020
How sweet!
Nice! I like the surprise turn at the end.
Here?s one of mine:
cold snap the howling wolf in the asthmatic?s lungs
(Presence #50, 2014)
pine scent two snow angels melt together
__ Ah… the flowered umbrella in the rain… of any, or all seasons.
Fun verse!!!
Of course the most famous umbrella haiku has to be by Richard Wright:
Just enough of rain To bring the smell of silk From umbrellas
