[Silent Kim aka mizmetap..]

Very nice, soft and discriptive.

I feel weird about form...I hate it and love it. But the haikus and others I am not a fan of...I just don't like the little devils. Run a villanelle under my nose and I'm yr man, maybe even a sestina!

I've never read a cinquain before.
I think this is a very good poem about a willow though.

I tried poetry and always gravitate back to writing stories.

Well done.

I really like it, and I believe endearing fits it well, but that's up to you to change if you so wish. Nevertheless, its still wonderful imagery. I specifically like the three verbs you chose;
"Swishing, swaying, becoming".
Their arrangement is what makes this particularly beautiful.

I like the idea of a cinquain, and might try my hand at one (or a few) myself.

I like it. I am a free verse. I don't like rules, but should learn to follow them. Your poem is very nice indeed. I am going to try my hand at a few of these myself. Thanks to Bailish, below, I'll even know how! Great imagery...and if you don't like a word, you can always change it! Isn't poetry great?

A willow is such a powerful image; it brings to mind family and childhood memories.

I think you've got a nice poem there.

BTW, there are several forms of cinquains.
