Willow

Willow
Doleful shadow
Perched along lonely strand
Furrowed brow shrouding a gnarled bough
Weeping

Quite a sad image painted vividly through your words, Stephen. You should consider entering this in Constance's "trees" contest. She says weeping willows are her favorite trees. As a child my neighborhood kids used to play hide and seek in these willows. Have a blessed Easter! Love, Carolyn
