Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Weeping Willow Mourns

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

James Horn January 14, 2018 at 5:47 AM 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.

James Horn January 14, 2018 at 5:43 AM 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.
