Willow

Oh willow tree you'll not fool me your happier than most I watch you sway with such delight you mere can keep from boast I see no weeping no woes worth keeping and yet in form you droop know this dear tree you'll not fool me as I rest upon your stoop I'll collect my nuts I'll carve my cuts Into your nimble limbs then you shall see Why willows weep as me and mine shall keep a home sweet home forever loaned Inside of you so deep

Beautiful Joy,I also have a willow tree the biggest tree around here. I too have a poem about it,'Gentle Breeze'. We have squrrels nests and they sway but stay there. Well written poem .Anne

Thank you for sharing your poetry Melody. Poets here offer such diverse writings and to me it is a pleasure to read each and everyone. I will not be here at the Soup to read from Friday through Monday. I hope you will find mountains of inspiration during that time. I look forward to reading when I return. Have a great weekend. Love, Carol
