One Woman's Heart

Using a weeping willow as a metaphor for a woman's heart.

My willow tree is all alone.
Limbs, protective of its trunk,
like a waterfall and its cave, 

when the lightening tries to strike
it down. Thunder growls from high
above and rain like teardrops 

fall from the branches, 
back and forth, side to side,
Hail pounds at it, and a tornado

tries to rip it out. Then when it's
all over, the sun shines bright
and my weeping willow stands strong.

I like the use of the willow tree to describe life hardships and struggles. Good description allowed reader to feel and understand the desire of this poem. I did like the positive ending to the excellent poem.

All of your writing is very empowering, inspiring, and happy! You portray so much emotion- sadness, depression, agony- and end it all with a heartwarming line. Nice work!
