weeping willow is my favourite tree! next to the lily pads on a dark still pond and gold fish by the dozens... I think they are there to witness our tears.. your writing of senryus evoke such strong emotions...

Thank you so much for that compliment, glad to see I am not the only one who likes those trees.

We should all dance as free as the willow does. I was just looking at photos of this tree yesterday, it's grace has long fascinated me. Wonderfully written.

What a whimsical point of view. The weeping willow will always be my most favorite of trees. Behind the leafed curtains...it offers up a place of peace and solitude.

as a child...I had a grandparent that lived on the farm...willows in the back yard...I was Alice...Wonderland was found beneath the tree.

That is an awesome story.

A few more parents might learn from that example I'm thinking. lol I liked this Cowboy. Good work.

As I understand Destiny can sometimes be crude, not always lead one's life in a sweet way, but its a mixture of bitter sweet symphony. And Destiny does it all with no remorse at all. Very thoughtful indeed, even though I don't know if my interpretation suits the context?

If that is what you took from the poem then it fits the context. That is the great thing bout poetry.
