Singing in the Rain



 It was raining in the garden,
a light, harmonious shower,
and the cheery sound reminded
the tulip of a choir.

It gave him an idea -
the flowers should all sing!
Oh, the music they'd create,
the joy that they would bring.

He wouldn't be stopped
by wet and chilly weather,
he picked up a song
and got the flowers together.

The flowers started singing,
and the trees felt they would swoon -
none but the tulip 
could even carry a tune.

The flowers didn't care,
and as the music flowed
the big oak protested -
his head would soon explode.

The tulip looked to the trees
and said above the ding -
how dull our lives would be
if only the perfect would sing.


Featured: a coat hanger and
felt flowers make a wall decoration.

You are romantic! When it rains, I think about the clothes hanging at the balcony and if I need take a bus to get my grocery done.

You created such a pretty wreath and poem Amalia. I hope you enjoy the week.

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

Really Tulip? Do you mean that? I can't carry a tune, but maybe if you come to visit, I will sing for you anyway. (And tell your friend Amalia that her poem and her felt flowers are all perfect!! I bet can probably sing perfectly in tune also ;>)

Red Rose Alley said...

What a bright and pretty coat hanger, Amalia. I liked your little poem also. I always admired those who could sing, cause I could never sing well. But I still try. ; )

Blondie's Journal said...

She such a sweet poem...you have so much talent. I love the wreath. And I also love following Sew A Softie. I'm wondering if you use a particular type of felt and scissors. I cannot find patterns I like so I want to create my own--you are such inspiration...

I concur that the karaoke will be boring if everyone had perfect singing voices! The off-key tunes are what make it entertaining!
