Under The Willow Tree

I drove past it the other day
and I had to think of you
and this dream that's shared
between we poets two.

Such a beautiful sight
yes, it was a willow tree
and of all things underneath it
a wicker chair there had to be!

It was a fairly shady spot
where two friends could meet
to just enjoy the beautiful day
and the sunset then to greet.

I haven't forgotten that dream
and how someday it might come true
and how great it would be
to sit under the willow tree with you!

Perhaps it is just a dream
it might come true~ you never know~
but in our thoughts and hearts
it's a special place that we can go.

somy~ Reg you are precious..
(and you thought I had forgotten...)

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

Beautifully penned and love the pic.

This title just caught my eye. Because the weeping willow tree is my favorite kind of tree. When I was about 10 or 11 years old there was one over on the next block. I use to walk over on the next block just to look at it. LOL! I thought it was the most beautiful tree I had ever seen.
I love this picture. And, your poem is just beautiful.

Thanks to you all so very much! Funny thing is there really was a wicker chair under this willow tree by a lake...and my mind wondered to Reg that day....and remembered...what a beautiful thought it was! It was just wonderful. I couldn't believe I found this pic!! Monet was perfect!

Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal.

How I would love to sit in that chair with a cool glass of lemonade and a good book and just waste away the hours. This was such a calm, soothing poem.

Thank you for your beautiful imagery.
Hugs, Marti

You do the split rhyme pattern so smoothly that you almost make it your own. The image is soft and alluring with a gentleness that is the language of the willow tree for sure. Beautiful write you honor your friend with and for us, you leave us with a nice relaxing setting to keep in the back of our minds.

I love the ethereal feel to this one, Donna

I love Weeping Willow trees....we have many of them here where I live.

Oh..what a shady spot it would be and a perfect spot to really get to know one of the bestest souls around..The things we will talk about girl~wink*

You just tug on my heart strings and it's no wonder you are my somy~ Whatever I did to inspire this beauty I hope I continue it. Great big southern hugs and hopes for a wicker Ya Ya day! You are gorgeous inside and out.

Sincerely,
