The willow lost its weep
to the magic of Kansas winds
It got caught in the way
of its windy play
Presto change-o Wow
it's a whipping willow now

I can just picture that poor whipping Willow. I love those trees - reminds me of my youth but youth is gone and sadly so have a lot of Weeping Willows.

Even through the wind there are things to be seen and you see.

I have always loved the Weeping Willow tree and wished that they grew in Alaska. I think I'd like the Whipping Willow tree too as long as those whipping branches stayed far away from me. Love this, Lori.

Isn't it wonderful that you and I
know exactly what is whipping around
us...even know, if necessary, the sound
of a phone, saying "duck and cover"! Just
because of those very winds.....

As always, this is a most clever and bright
write!

Creates a powerful image Lori.
From weeping to whipping in the wind.

I'm one of those ones that love the wind unless of course it's hurricane force....smile...

I really do love that band Kansas from your state.
That guy that plays keyboards and sings could blow the leaves off the willow with that beautiful powerful voice.
A very unique band.
