The Willow Weeps

I feel left bare naked of charm the mystery of me when in fullest delight as left a shiver so quick as the fall of the night. My fruits that fed, shelter to the storm, the hidden lovers, undiscovered, and their laughter upon my throne. What of me now? as winter as called, no lovers delight, to rest at my feet, for I am the willow, taste my tears as I weep.

Beautifully done, Ann!! I love the personification of this, and the chilly nature you led the reader. A bit of mystery. Nicely done! :) Fondly, Carrie

This is so visual and sad for the tree as it watched over love in the warm seasons and stands bare now in the cold. Very well written as it flows smoothly and has the perfect tone. Michael
