Willow Wind Dance ~*~ On the pond reeds of cat tail dry brown seed gone to fluff left to wind there, ice is shimmering crusting pond, trapped life below still come, still winter day Willow bare lowering fingers of limb to earth draping over in exhausted slumber sleep, Willow, sleep Hibernation of gray cooled sun’s rays wait, wait, wait for new day shhh, wait… wait… wait… On the pond winds shift blue ice cracks in deepening chill white graces Willow, now in slumber’s resting grace at peace, at peace, long night shivering Now read slow, as that is how the day shall glow For time shall pass winds shall howl wolves shall prowl deer shall travel by owl will grace long night’s sky All will come about in His good time, season to season to give rhythm to rhyme First sign of warm comes from rays of morn Willow feels the blood of life course and course through her veins and slowly beckons life to spring from pond, slowly fingering lowered limbs come… come… come… Pond awakens life begins to croak alive Cardinal sits among Willow’s branch singing song of wake, trilling song of life warbling song of love Inviting bluebird to come join colors Willow bright reds and blues Willow pushes forth her dress of slender yellow-green lacy skirt soft spring winds come to claim first dance of Willow’s spring Dance, Willow, Dance Shift in wind of spring beckon hearts to sing while all to wear fresh green to visit oft pond’s scene Capturing the Willow Wind Dance 03 December 00 revised 22 February 02 |

Oh my goodness what a beautiful poem. I'm looking at such a willowtree through my front window, thought I had a pic of it in my computer, but I think it is in the one upstairs. I just love willowtrees. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Hi Kari this is Krissy (Mushy’s daughter). Mum said you were a talented writer and she’s not often wrong about that. Actually truth to tell I have been reading your poems for a couple of weeks now, and I agree with her, which obviously goes to prove we both have great taste. wide grin You have written this beautifully, this has the flow of water over glass, as smooth as silk. YOU really are an exceptional writer. I’ll look forward to leaving little bon mots on your posts. Mum told me you were learning French it’s okay I don’t speak a lot of French. Or the French I do know isn’t going to get me very far, well not on a poetry site it won’t anyway. wicked grin   Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

Kari darling sister of my soul Oh my I’m stunned with admiration this has got to be one of you utter utter best. Truly the line and flow in this is absolutely excellent. I can actually feel the willow moving, this is utterly utterly wonderful How do you manage to do these so well darling girl? Truly awesome writing. You are always a fabulous writer, in this you have excelled yourself. If you keep writing like this I shall start running out of superlatives and that would never do would it? As for Krissy well you know, she loves to read you and has wanted to drop little notes on you for a few weeks now. She doesn’t write anything at all, but she says, and I agree with her, that all writers need readers. She’ll simply read and comment, but not on mine, for one, I’m not having the babe who’s nappies I changed and who I brought into this world telling me what she does or doesn’t like about my writing. And besides it’s a waste of time she can just tell me, I won’t take any notice mind but she can just tell me. Fancy the little madam getting all cock a hoop over the fact she got to comment before me, cheeky mare, if she were several years younger I’d make her sorry, I’m not sure how I was never good at doing the stern parent bit Anyway this is a fabulous piece of writing absolutely fabulous  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
