Kl Williams Poet Personification

Willow

I watch the weeds dance,
In the grassy playground.
The wind plays music,
through my limbs hanging down.

Jealous is the Oak,
Of my branches so light.
Leaves kiss the water,
Teasing fish as they bite.

But jealous am I,
Of the Maple my friend.
Those beautiful leaves,
Paint the sky at year end.

For those that assume,
By my looks I'm a drag.
It's really the Pine,
That sap makes her nag. 

People seek solace,
In my curtain of leaves.
I am the Willow,
The gentlest of trees.

The Grahamburglar August 21, 2015 at 6:20 PM I once caught a willow branch in a lawn mower. It pulled, then snapped the whole branch. I ended up getting showered in tics and other little bugs. Since then, I fear I view willows as little more than giant bug nests...haha. Anyway, I really enjoyed your write, and the very expressive, and descriptive style. Nicely done, and thank you for posting this. *7* Kl Williams August 21, 2015 at 6:27 PM Yikes! That does not sound fun! Haha Thank you for your compliment. :)
