“Come in, she said I’ll give ya shelter from the storm..”
– Bob Dylan
I have never had much use
for umbrellas
keeping rain at bay
as antithetical
to a poet as
sunscreen to a snowman
I need no portable canopy
except for thoughts
let it rain, pour
in my words you’ll find
shelter
from your storm
– Mark L. Lucker

I wasn’t sure where this was going when I read the first few lines, but I definitely didn’t expect the ending, which I loved. Nice 🙂
Thank you. I’m rather pleased with this one! Glad you liked it.
I hate umbrellas too, loved the surprise ending. Brilliant
Thank you!
