Zestful Beneath a weeping willow tree Shielded by its canopy of leaf Two lovers found sweet serenity Zestful to share love in ecstasy. Sadly a vicious storm was brewing Both their zestful hearts began stewing Thunder clapped and lightning struck the tree The sweethearts too, they died instantly. Forlorn the couple took off in flight Into the darkness of sky at night Flying to unknown territory To dwell in everlasting glory. The pair were eventually found They’d decayed into the underground Their loving souls live on tenderly Entwined in heaven's grace zestfully. The tree recovered its heart still beats Often sadly the willow tree weeps Never before in its history Has it known such zestful tragedy. *+*+*+* 12th May 2023 Writing Challenge - 'Z' Words Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Word choice no.10 - Zestful

Thank you Jan, who knows why willow trees weep, perhaps they cry over the secrets they keep. Hugs sent back, Belle xx

With much zest, I am wishing you a Happy Mother's Day, Belle:) Perhaps we should meet beneath a weeping willow tree. Any chance for me? Be well my friend:)

Daniel that made me laugh out loud, for if we should meet beneath a weeping willow tree I wouldn’t see you for dust, and for certain my heart would bust. Thank you my friend, if you read my poem - What will be will be - you’ll see why I don’t celebrate Mother’s Day. Stay well, Belle :)

Hi Belle, We chose the same word. But you took that same word and penned a well-written story. I found it to be beautiful and romantic, then sad, then back to beautiful again. I enjoyed it very much. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful weekend:-) Alexis
