Sammi asks us to be creative with the word
“umbrella” in exactly 24 words while Gerry &
Sue want us to include the word “burgeoning”.
Maybe this timely image from Mike at OMIMM
will inspire me. Here’s where my thoughts went.
Where has my lover gone? If only he’d come back to share my umbrella, that dark, burgeoning raincloud over my head wouldn’t even matter.

How beautiful how you turn a simple umbrella into a symbol of shelter and companionship. One feels the absence, the weight of the cloud, and at the same time, the tenderness of the desire to share that shelter. In just a few words, you manage to convey a mixture of nostalgia and hope that touches the heart.
