It’s not raining,

But I’ll take my umbrella to look rich.

I try to impress him but he never talks.

I look at him but he doesn’t blink.

The skies are grey because I’m disappointed.

Doesn’t he know who I am?

What I can do?

I’m the goddess of summer

But his intentions bring me to fall.

He stays in the same spot everyday.

So I know where to find him.

I go confront him

Then I realize… he’s just a scarecrow.

So the skies are clearing.

I look away from it, feeling underestimated.

  4. Bam is right, there are lots of contradictions in the poem--and the story line brings tension too. You're poems always have tension in them but only sometimes release.

  5. The part where the woman thought the scarecrow is a man is hilarious. & the part where shes like doesnt he know who i am? Its like seeing a person for the first time in a while & they dont even remember/reconize you, then you get all embarrassed/mad. Hehe. Nice work with the whole poem.
