A Weeping Willow Mourns

Answer me, oh Willow Tree As you weep so low Only trouble do I see Why do your tears flow Has the wind not confided That love will humble all That though we are divided We’ll bond before we fall Answer me, oh Willow Tree Is your sorrowing for me 1/17/18 Contest: 10 lines, 5 words, Rhyme II Sponsor: Laura Loo

Great topic and write within the restrictive parameters Mike! There is something about a weeping willow tree that seems wise and ancient. Best in the contest!
