Song of the Willow

Another really beautiful poem, Jenny.

Just a very minor point...'its'...shouldn't have an apostrophe, in the first line of the third stanza.

You really do love your trees, don't you Jenny? This is another fine example of that;-)

Dear Tina, again thankyou so much for your help.
You are so right, I really do love trees, but
then I think you do too.

I'm so glad you enjoyed reading this and as you
know I really do appreciate your feedback.

Thankyou again so much.

Jenny.

"a nymph through water". Super in the context of the piece. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful...I loved trees that I could hide in, without climbing them.. ;)

I thought this was really good, Jenny. So many lovely pictures here and I really do not think that there is a word wasted - strong stanzas, and I know I've said it before, but you do get better and better and continue to delight your readers.

I just adore this:

a song of the Willow, casts its magic
in the deepest depths of the mind...
entrancing all those enticed to lay
quietly beneath the bough, a hushed
silence...peaceful...but for the rustle
of her delicate leaves, and the sleepy
ripple...ruffled by a gentle breeze.

A beautiful poem. Great stuff!

Hi there scratch,

so kind of you to read this poem. The line you
picked up on, was quite meaningful to me, so I
was glad you liked it.

Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and for
letting me know, always appreciated.

Jenny.

Good morning Chris,

I totally agree with you, about hiding in trees,
that you don't have to actually climb, the willow
is perfect for this game.

so glad you enjoyed reading this and I do appreciate
you telling me. Thankyou.

Good morning sue,

well I think you said it all in your kind words.
Those are certainly my favourite lines, I just
imagined laying under a willow, with the sun
glinting through the leaves and the gentle ripple
of a the water. Oh'! to dream.

Anyway back to reality, your words are always
appreciated and thankyou for your wonderful comments.

Jenny.

I call them Weeping Willows and always will. Thanks for sharing Jenn..

Hi Pia,

I know what you mean, they are such a beautiful
trees, with such delicate leaves and weeping, is
certainly what they do, but in a gentle, flimsy
way, almost like a cascade.

Thankyou for reading and sharing your thoughts,
always appreciated.

Jenny.
