Weeping Willow

Weeping willow
sing your song to me
so interred by love
she weeps and weeps
years and years she watches us grow and fall
till her branch's no longer stand tall
wisdom she could tell if only she'd speak
deep rooted secrets she has no choice but to keep
don't keep your secrets from me
oh dear willow
please sing to me
100's of years you've lived by this stream
blood shed during famine has fed you like rain
creatures roaming and snicker and playing
lovers first kiss
wars last quarrel
has all happened around you willow
your branch's sing with the stars as you both keep you're
secrets
your wisdom is over whelming
if only i could have a peek into your sadden branch's
into your gate like bark
to see the secrets you hold
of humanity

Great personification here. You are very creative in the way you describe and observe such a beautiful tree. Your curiosity has paid off with this poem. Great writing.

[Coyote Poetry]

A amazing poem. I like when a writer use nature to make a story have reason and purpose. A weeping willow of 100 years old would have great knowledge of life and love. Thank you for the excellent poem.
