What a beneficial parasol you are

Dark Cloud



What a beneficial parasol you are

in a scorching hot summer!

You fight off all the malicious sunlight

for elegant young ladies in bright daylight.

They are like buttercups swaying and dancing

to the melody of summer breeze you bring.

Following your footstep, the misty rain

Falls like a fine gentle hand

That caresses each flower bud on a green land.





Hi,



I dashed off the above when it's cloudy and drizzling this morning in my part of the world. Is it right to write " a beneficial parasol" and " the malicious sunlight?"

I wrote them this way on purpose, for people always think that dark cloud is bad while sunlight is delightful.
