Colin Mitchell Williams Poet Free verse

Weep the Willow She

Weep The Willow She

Bark and Willow 
Weeps she to raining
Poses curtained shadows
Behind the water fall of slim leaven branchings
Underneath recumbent grass
Damp on cold spatters
Spreading stains water logged

An unremitting drop of rain
Shaken to drips from the overhang 
Her shoulders code the tears
Fall 
Leafy roof sweeping down 
Bending low and bending thoughts
Weeping to the sky

Bending low and bending thoughts

Dark shafts lighted thoroughfares dappling
Where once the night and shade
May have squabbled
Over these ink-ed pools 
Of sorrow she
Slipping from embassies of luminosity
Lent themselves between the bows
Bent between her thoughts
Weeping to the sky

Michael Torres January 8, 2009 at 4:21 PM Colin this is just beautiful poetry such wonderful metaphores and choice descriptive words thoughts images. I guess Christie is going through some heartache based on her last poem and she probably related to this one. Very fine job and I hope Christie can have healing through this write. GBU Colin than you for your comments and my dad says hello. Say hi to your son from me and my dad.
