Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

The Weeping Willow Tree

The Weeping Willow Tree

Never worried when you were below
Never saw the tear that fed the grand willow
The willow tree grew
Large and high with summer rains
Always curious no one under the tree
Until that day
I drove by
You were hanging
Finally free

Miraj Raha September 17, 2016 at 1:45 AM Chilling!!! The subject you chose was outlandish, and it was executed with brilliance. Great read.

Connie Marcum Wong September 15, 2016 at 9:02 PM Your ending gave me chills Arthur. It is sad, yet knowing someone is free from pain you have to hope they learn from the experience and never choose to escape life that way again. A powerful piece! 7 ; )
