Sunbrella
I have a new umbrella,
Bright pink and trimmed in white,
But every time I go outside
The rain stays out of sight.
My mother says on sunny days
I still might find it fun
To open my umbrella
And keep away the sun.
And so I walk with shadows
Upon my smiling face
Because my new sunbrella
Goes with me everyplace!

The voice of this little girl rings so true for me, Charles.
Where I come from, it's normal to open an umbrella on a sunny day to keep away the sun. I do love the voice of the poem. It is not childish but quite nostalgic in tone.
Cute poem, Charles - and I agree, the tone of the speaker fits perfectly with the mood of the poem.
A lucky sunbrella, we could all use one of these!
"Funbrella" poem, Charles! Thanks for sharing. =)
Awh, cute! My almost 5 yr old just got her first umbrella.
A sunbrella, love that!
Sweet!
love it, Charles! in FL people DO use sunbrellas, but it's usually older women who do so.
Great poem, Charles. My girls love umbrellas and will think up anything to get to use them!
