"Weeping Willow"

[Willow]

Weeping Willow

Weeping, I bend
But do not break
As firmly, my roots
Grasp the bloodied ground

Gently, my limbs
Enfold and embrace you
As weakly, you stumble
And fall with no sound

Softly, I cleanse
And heal your wounds
As lightly, my leaves
Caress your brow

Safely, you sleep
Beside my cool stream
As longingly, I whisper
“Stay with me now”



Dreaming, you speak
Of battle and bloodshed
For duty, and honor
Are all that you know

Waking, you struggle
Within my strong branches
As slowly, my limbs
Allow you to go

Sadly, I sing
A song of farewell
While dying a little
With each step you take

Firmly, my roots
Grasp the bloodied ground
As weeping, I bend
And finally break

that picture is kinda ... weird ... too much skill with photoshopping is scary

but the poetry is good

[Glaze]

Willow, you got some skills on your hands, not only in the poetry but with the art also. You guys are so entertaining and that is the reason why I would not trade CoN for anything else.

[Willow]

Thank you Glaze We truly are a CoN-glomerate of people, all with something to contribute, and if we support and nurture each other, it will make us that much stronger.

And thank you Granite, glad you liked the poem anyway, lol. The photo weirdness was Paint Shop Pro, btw. Not too much skill, but too little maybe? Constructive criticism is always good too

Nice! I am in awe.

[Soluna]

Oh yes very lovely!

Clever Poem Willow !


And dont worry about photoshop you did just fine

[Willow]

Thank you for the kind words Demaris, Soluna, Itar.

(it wasn't photoshop, it was paint shop pro, and I'm clearly no expert....maybe I should get photoshop instead)

When I invented Paint Shop I had just in mind someone with your glorious skills would be using it!

I wish I could take credit for inventing such verse as well..but alas, the credit is all yours!
