In thickets of the heart Thorns with tears to impart Will make the willow weep Where pain is buried deep When moonlight frames love's dream By a gently flowing stream Winds with tears of sorrow Will leave heartache for tomorrow And beneath the starry sky The willow tree will cry -- 1-13-18 Contest: Ten Lines Five Words- Rhyme II Sponsor: Laura Loo

While lying under a weeping willow, Had started crying upon my pillow; Not only a nerd; Completely absurd; Trump please find another place to go.

A perfect example of being so simple; Trump's brain is as big as a big pimple; When he sputtered, Disaster uttered, And in his style enjoy putting a crimple.
