Gentle Breeze

Sitting in my garden looking 
            at the majestic  willow
        dancing in the soft breeze.
                           
        Swaying with the wing chimes,
                 hanging in the eves.

        The shadows of sunlight ripple 
              across  the  roof tops, 
         Makes an image in the visual
                       scene.

        A bird lights on one streamer
                  and gets a gentle
          ride, on the graceful willow
        In this peaceful garden of mine

that is just beautiful Anne. Thanks for commenting on mine, I changed the end verses to better suit the subject. I'm afraid I don't know much about squirrels so I am so happy you mentioned it. God bless, you are an amazing poet :) melody

Very beautiful poem Anne, I believe (hope) this is a weeping willow, I (in a way) grew up beneath the huge branches of a weeping willow, we called it Indene, and played in it day and night (until we moved)
