Ana Espinola Collins Poet Couplet

Sweet Willow Tree

Down by the lake, planted magically nearby
Stands a sweet willow tree forty feet high.
 
The crystallized tree glitters so bright;
Bursting with colours of candy delights.
 
Children from all over visit each day
To gather and gaze the delicious array.
 
Circling the tree, they dance around;
Hand in hand, like a merry-go-round.
 
Their energy stirs such a powerful swirl,
Sending the branches into a twirl.
 
Dangling bonbons begin to fall;
Baskets are filled leaving nothing at all.

Twilight arrives with its colourful glow
And sugar filled blossoms begin to grow.
 
By morning the willow is flourished and sweet,
Ready for the day's visitors to greet!

Monterey Sirak August 13, 2014 at 7:19 AM This is beautiful, full of vibrant images. The weeping willow is my favorite tree and I have memories of playing under one with my sister. Ana Espinola Collins August 13, 2014 at 7:55 PM It's my favourite tree too especially when there's a breeze the branches sway so gracefully...so magical! Thx for visiting Monterey and your nice comment :) Ana

Painted Hunter July 29, 2014 at 2:33 PM Hi Ana. Love this little light-hearted gem...magical and dreamy. I gotta get me one of those trees...though, I think I'd rather have one that grows rare steak and strong cheese...okay...that's kinda nasty now that I think about a tree with stinky cheese on it....I'll bet there wouldn't be nearly as many kids around it though..lol Ana Espinola Collins July 31, 2014 at 5:50 AM Lol....you're too funny! Glad you liked it Caleb and thanks for stopping by:) Ana

Charles Reese July 15, 2014 at 7:31 PM A very beautiful write with nice rhyme and flow. The only bad thing about a tree like that would be the cavities of those that over indulge. Ana Espinola Collins July 16, 2014 at 8:44 PM Lol...Thanks for your lovely comment and for visiting :) Ana
