Mel Merrill Poet Rhyme

Easily She Weeps

I wonder why the willow weeps.
What sadness does she know?
I wonder if she sadly sleeps
As she dreams of long ago?
Could the winter be the reason,
For a willow likes the spring?
Yet regardless of the season
I suspect a different thing.
For once a caller stayed awhile,
And still the fire keeps--
Since then she finds it hard to smile,
But easily she weeps!

I have read so much of your work today and I have enjoyed it so much, that I will be back for more. Have a blessed and lovely evening, Mel. Sharon : )
