I love when you write about these little moments of things brushing past one another. I think some of those are my favorite of the collection. Just these quick pecks between objects as we rush through our days, never noticing or taking the time to see how much of us touches other peoples lives - I don't know it just has me feeling all types of ways. 

 

Also, it literally started raining outside my window as I read this and so I had to go sit on my porch to write this review and it's so nice out here. The tap tap tap on the overhang of my porch. The smell of rain is just one of the best there is in my opinion. Something so serene when it's just a lazy drizzle.

Hi, Eva.

 

I imagine this scene as being on a downtown city street where many people must walk close together, and in a city or region where the rain can occur suddenly and heavily, so that everyone carries an umbrella.  It must be quite a sight, all those colorful and patterned umbrellas, though the businessmen and businesswomen probably stick to the navy blue and black, all trying to pass one another on the sidewalk without bumping into one another.

 

It's easy to navigate the streets on a dry, sunny day, but harder when you have to allow for the extra width of your umbrella canopy.  Sometimes you miscalculate and shave it too close.  When that happens, the people holding the umbrellas say "Sorry" and "Pardon me," but, as you say, the umbrellas are not sorry.  It's their chance for a stolen kiss.

 

I am entertained by your ability to find kisses everywhere.  Do you remember in Deathly Hallows when Harry and Hermione went into the Godric's Hollow churchyard on Christmas Eve, they entered by way of a kissing gate?  I had to look that up when I first read the book, to know what a kissing gate was.

Hi again Eva! :) I never thought I’d enjoy something written about umbrellas and kissing together, but I have to say you’ve done it! What I really like about this drabble is that you take a rainy day, and the brisk opening of umbrellas to ward off the rain as a way to not only illustrate how varied umbrella colors and patterns can be but also to weave in your theme of “tiny kisses” with the umbrellas. For a second as I started this drabble I thought you were going to use the umbrellas as an opportunity for a couple to share a quick kiss free from the rain, but I think I like your actual version better, where each time an umbrella bumps into another, it’s a tiny kiss, and the owners of the umbrellas blush in embarrassment at having touched another person’s umbrella. It’s cute, relatable, and slightly unexpected but in the best way. :)

ayy these lil umbrellas with their (probably not so) lil owners happily dancing in the rain when they're finally let loose have me all googly eyed at the idea (okay i just legit love the way you seem to open my eyes to parts of the usual happenings in the world and how they can be so damn creatively interpreted, umbrellas in the rain included, but this comment is applicable to basically every single drabble i've read in this collection). i love that when they bump into each other due to their owners handling them, it's a tiny kiss and the blush and then they're whisked away quickly, like these star-crossed lovers destined to meet once and maybe never again (or maybe they do, randomly bumping into each other with each rain which also sounds hella romantic), and you have such a way with words that you make umbrellas come alive, it's wonderful.

Ok, so I am conjuring up the image of a sea of umbrellas just strolling about with their owners on a rainy day and it's so delightful! The way you describe each owner walking with their umbrella, how some bob as and sway in time with the different kind of music they're listening to, it's just great! And you also take the time to describe the different times of umbrellas, which I loved reading the different colors and patterns. And even your line about the old tattered ones...I have such a soft spot for old things, so I was like "aww poor umbrella just trying to do its life function." Anyway, you stir up great imagery here and set up a cutesy sort of "meet cute," in the rain scene here. I love that when they bump umbrellas the people are more apologetic than grumpy. (:

Oh wow. Eva. Wow. I love this so, so much. The quiet, seemingly shy way you describe the bump of umbrellas from above is so stunning. I love this image. I love that I can see it with vivid clarity. I love that you've created a solid, relateable image from something so seemingly mundane. But here it's vibrant and shows a new depth of the human experience and I love that.

I have a weird love for umbrellas. So I definitely read this one before I read some of the others, but I wanted to go in order so here I am, reading it again and loving it just as much as the first time.

 

Again, you have a real knack for personification. It's cool how the umbrellas are the ones swaying and bobbing along to music instead of the people holding them, and how they are all doing their best to protect their owners. Very noble of them! I particularly liked the ending, how them accidentally bumping together is described as a kiss and how they're so bashful about it, like, "Sorry, that was my owner who bumped me into you, I promise I didn't mean to invade your space." Seems like it kind of comes with the territory, though!
