The Umbrella
Poetry on Emotional Distance
This is for Mikeydred's March Prompt.
The umbrella covers, and yet parts. -Michelle Liew.
*******************************************************
A
Tiny
Umbrella
Shelters the Loves
But the cover parts
The raw rift wide and clear
Unsaid words, like rain, they fall
And below the cover they hide--
From the truth, and from emotion's tide.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
