An assortment of coloured umbrellas, <br />Fending off the rain, <br />I wonder if those, concealed underneath, <br />Have had lives disturbed by pain, <br />With the greyness of the sky above, <br />Their bodies crouching low, <br />What is the message that greets the eye <br />Where do all these 'bodies' go, <br />There's a feeling that they may be hiding <br />Not only from the rain, <br />But that is just a 'thought' of mine, <br />And I could be wrong - again! <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/umbrellas-in-the-rain/
