Something tells me that you are indeed, a willow!---and there is a gentle strength in both your subtleness and suppleness... Have a happy Spring, Warm hugs, Earth Angel |

This poem reminds me so of the willow, supple and flowing but with an inner core of strength that aLlows for bending and not breaking. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

The only thing that comes in a close second to nature itself is your poem. *s It's a keeper! I have a special place in my heart about willow trees from happy childhood memories of swinging on the weeping willow branches in my backyard. Hours and hours of fun. When you think you have heard it all, |

I have a willow outside that I planted. I am waiting for it to grow strong and enjoy its warmth of meaning and shade. ~A~ |

Thank you all for your kind compliments! This was inspired by the willow metaphor used by 1slick_lady. There was also a large weeping willow in my back yard where I grew up. I have memories of climbing such an accomodating tree, the summer shade, those wonderous swaying branches. I miss that. And about a book submission? It would not be fair of me to submit something unless I were able to participate in the selection process fairly. I simply do not have as many hours as that would take. Perhaps another time . . .
