Weeping Willow

With slouching branches
The skin breaks to flower pods,
And the willow weeps.

What I like about your work, is that you have varieties. Although they are a lot of haiku, they are all different and cleverly written. You never bore me...

I like these kinds of trees, they always look sad and you did a remarkable job describing it.

My favourite tree! The word 'slouching' is very effective. A superb HAIKU with exceptional word choices... BRAVO my friend! Best wishes, Keith

My favorite tree. Beautiful haiku. I look out my window at one every day, planted in honor of my mom's passing. Love, Shar
