A Weeping Willow Mourns

Stardust clusters scattered over seas Moonlight caressing everything in sight Balmy breeze eager to appease Droplight for love by candlelight Broken hearts swooning languorous lament Until dawn ushers sweet quietude As weeping willow, trusty confidante Mourns infinite tears of solitude Troubled emotions and bruised veneers Park bench beckons all sonneteers AP: 3rd place 2021 Submitted for contest TEN LINES FIVE WORDS: RHYME II sponsored by LAURA LOO - January 14, 2018 - RANKED 1ST

Very well done, Line - love the mournful atmosphere, and you pull off the restrictive format well, without the reader noticing. Good luck in the contest.

I am really loving the ones on the willow tree. I think it will be the most popular of the themes. YOu did quite well with it, making it nostalgic and also mournful. I really love the ending line, making it for all sonneteers!

Of course, Andrea. Weeping willows are beautifully sad just to look at... crying all the time. Thank you so much for your visit.
