Sara Kendrick Poet Rubaiyat

Notes About The Poem

The Pussywillow that is North America is called also Salix Discolor..I learned some information when writing this one for we don't have this one around here just Weeping Willow and other Willows whose bloom looks similar to the second on the right..The form that I used is called interlocking Rubaiyat..

Gray Haired Bloom

Salix Discolor had escaped my view
Living in south that would be nothing new
How I could enjoy your beauty in spring
When only one Weeping Willow see through

Gray-haired bloom so distintive against red
Beauty like fur coat of cat that's purebred
Salix Discolor stands still while wind's wing
Transports young where no other foot has tread
