the old willow combs her hair
and bows to the wind

(smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, wepping willows are one of my absolute favorite trees and I just love in spring when they bud and sway with the wind! (big hugggssss) Every day has its way, even weeping willows weep in joy many days, God Bless You, this would be perfect for Reflections, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Very nicely done...
if I may...

Invisible wind,
I know where you are, when the
Old willows curtsey.

Thank you all for stopping by. Noah, you are such a flirt. Nancy and Krawdad, Your suggestions are very welcome. I was picturing an old bent willow tree near my previous home in Lafayette, IN. Since this is a Japanese form, my thoughts moved to a long black haired Japanese lady bowing to comb out her hair....the rest took care of itself. Marge, I have read and respected so much of your work that your praise humbles me.

INclan,
you are a master of description in few words. I very much liked this one, and I hope we will be seeing more on a regular basis. Missed you here.
