Under A Black Umbrella
When dark clouds appear
and it seems to rain for days and days
It makes me wish I were with you
Arm in arm....
Under a black umbrella
((This was one of my first poems. Came out of falling in "infatuation" with one of my mother's first cousins. I still think of it as one of my most purest of poetic attempts))
