Under the Umbrella


Together on a busy street 
was the couple under the umbrella. 

Curtained by the sheets of rain 
was the couple under the umbrella. 

Dressed in earthy shades of brown 
was the couple under the umbrella. 

Immersed in a world of oblivion
was the couple under the umbrella. 

On the way to home or a house 
was the couple under the umbrella? 

Aware of their destination 
was the couple under the umbrella?

Brought closer by the showers
was the couple under the umbrella?

Bound by the questions or the answers
was the couple under the umbrella?

Walking away from my focus
was the couple under the umbrella.

Uncaring of my observations
was the couple under the umbrella. 

Not bothering to wave me a goodbye
was the couple under the umbrella.

Since I already wrote a poem about umbrellas, I had to write another for this event.
The poem is written in Chant style.
