River Willows

sweeping green tresses
a young girl's glory by day
playful overhang

Wow, these last two poems of yours are a deviation from the norm for you! I like it! Just proves a good poet can write in any style! I grew up in New Jersey and we had many weeping willows in our yard. I pictured them as I read your words. Lydi**

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Lydi**. Pleased this haiku reminded you of your younger days and the willows in your yard. Your review so appreciated.

dear Christine... A young girl's tresses are similar to
a young weeping willow... and as time goes by she
may be playful in a more delicate sway to the music
of her heart. Your Haiku is like a flute that whistles by day.
truly, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

I love your thoughts Pat. Willow tree movement is certainly inspirational. Thank you so much.

Hmmm...
This is wonderful.
I like the shortness with its contents.
They are mind-driving.

Thumbs up.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Kay. Haikus actually need quite a bit of thinking. Thanks for your visit my friend.

Delightful, you could make a string of these in all of lifes stages.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Cherrie. Never thought of doing several at once. That's a thought now.

Chris

[Cherrie]

Make it a collection each with its own connection with nature.

[Chris Shaw]

Great idea Cherrie.

This is a glorious Haiku Chris! Beautiful imagery and metaphor of Weeping Willows and young girl’s dresses. Graceful, delicate, perfect!
