When it rained yellow flowers

A weather perfect, not too sunny,

Ideal to savor a walk.

Be cautious, warned the sky,

For I might turn rainy.

Caution soon paid off

When the umbrella had to be unfolded

Walking in the light drizzle was heavenly

But presently the droplets seem to grow heavier

And gather speed

The umbrella was, but a weak shield

Caution paid off again

A tree full of yellow bell flowers

Offered a beautiful sanctuary

As the rain picked up pace ...

When every time a drop from the sky hit a target,

The flowers fell around me on the road

Their fall hastened by the rain

Beautiful moments of yellow to cherish

Perhaps the flowers had wished to stay up in the tree a little longer

I don’t know

As the rains started to show signs of slowing

Vehicles seemed to resume their flow

I had to move off

I could not bear to see the flowers

Being crushed too soon.
