Umbrella update

You can send a sixteen-year-old to Paris, but you can not make her take an umbrella.

April in Paris

Is prone to wetness.

Our daughter will return home

April 1.

She may bring the umbrella

Or leave it in her locker.

It seems

Though we may bring an umbrella

To school,

Darned if

It will be brought

To Paris.

Paris in spring

Is most likely wet.

Rain softens the landscape.

The streets are bright

With umbrellas.

My daughter will offer

Different color

To the scenery.
