A Weeping Willow Mourns

A WEEPING WILLOW MOURNS

See the weeping willow tree
Weeping because she left me

I mourn like the willow
My tears soak my pillow

My soul doth sorely yearn
Hoping that she will return

I weep with bitter tears
Nothing calms all my fears

Now that she is gone
I am left all alone

Login to Reply Curtis Moorman Date: 1/22/2018 7:58:00 PM Willows seem to flourish in Georgia. I don't have any in my yard but I do have a burgeoning hedge of leyland cypress trees. It pleases me that you enjoyed my poems enough to encourage me by commenting on them. Soup is a great tool for getting to know people even at long distance. Thanks for your support.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/16/2018 3:36:00 PM Another splendid job with a challenge. It was not so easy to do, being limited on the word count. I expect this will do well in the contest. So many of us chose willow. For me, the most interesting of the themes given.
