UMBRELLAS

Out come the umbrellas again
all colours shapes big and shiny
I achieved one now with Audrey Hepburn on?

some are broken from the wind and
torrential rain
in comes the cat standing on his brain
they do if it's thundery or stormy!

Flowers worms frogs boots and birds
wellingtons, jackets with hoods waterproof
water tubs filling up leaky shoes

two have just done the garden for me'
covered in muck! and mud! and weeding
called out for coffee !please
they found our lost green frog
oh hide' it while the cat!s about.

the pink blossom is by the washing line
I do wish the pouring rain would stop
and it would be fine.

Oh' there's a blue-tit with a worm
in his mouth

the daughter and friend
have dug and hoed and no regrets
ther'e both thrilled for me the
hard work in the garden was worth
all the sweat?

Hi Julie.

There's a lot of good stuff here for me. You are definitely improving in my eyes. Of course you know I'd like to steal bits and put them in my own words don't you? ;-) ha! ha!. But I won't :) lol

I particuarly like this part

"Flowesrs,worms,frogs boots and birds
wellington,jackets with hoods waterproof
water tubs filling up,leaky shoes"

Well done. Keep it up. I enjoyed this piece.

I couldn't agree with Jupiter more, Julie.

This is a very colourful, descriptive piece which I enjoyed.

Hi Julie,

When you post work, it's worth checking it through for typos and 'editing'. There are several in here that detract from a really lovely poem,

I loved the lines 'in comes the cat standing on his brain/they do if it's thundery or stormy'.
