Venture advances, the future ... occurs, the White Willow trees, best found by rivers edge. Salix alba, and 'Tristis' means sad, hence, 'Weeping', yet the essence seems to add a picturesque of a draped graceful scene, nay gloomy but most tranquil, and serene. The whitish tones of the leaf's undersides evolved the tree's name. A meter trunk, wide's, diameter, thirty-meter stretch that leans caused by sloped limbs that bring its Top Hat tilted downward. A bow ... accentuates, or curtsey, being a deciduous tree, where the flower's genders grow distinct, genteel parade cascades in white trimmed linked.

Your poem is about the beauty and grace of the White Willow tree, specifically focusing on its appearance and characteristics. The subject revolves around the descriptive portrayal of the tree, highlighting its physical features and the emotions it evokes. Using specific botanical terms such as "Salix alba" to convey a sense of expertise. You also employ alliteration in "graceful scene" and personification in "A bow... accentuates, or curtsey," adding depth to this great poem.
