A Weeping Willow Mourns

Bended limbs in sadness bowed What burden do you bear, Weeping willow, weep with me For one no longer there. Here beneath your shading boughs Tears course down my cheek, For a life without her Is no life I seek. So come weeping willow mourn, For a heart, now incomplete. Entry for 10 Lines, 5 Words: Rhyme II - Poetry Contest Sponsored by Laura loo 13/1/18. Placed 1st.
