Weeping Willow

The tall
                                        Weeping willow
                                     Waves majestically
                        Somehow she seems to be haunted
                                             Moaning

                                              Maybe
                           She’s merely airing her branches
                                   In the windy meadow
                                       Being heard by
                                              Spirits

Andrea Dietrich Date: 9/17/2014 3:42:00 PM I'm not sure how the form works, but this is a nice picture of a willow tree, dear! I need to read up on Cinquains again!
