Willow Tree

Beneath the willow tree
Imagination is set free.

Wander here and there
Travel out to everywhere.

Skip and play along the rocks
bouncing along with curly locks

I twist and turn and dizzily fall
And gasp at the beauty of it all

My imagination is like that of a small child
playful sometimes or outrageous and wild

That's just me a walking contradiction
Won't be held back cause of convention

I love the individuality expressed in this piece, Debby. I have always LOVED Willow trees. There's something so serene about them. I picture the old tire swing and swinging so carefreely under it. A lovely write...

Hugs, me

Debby, this is great... I love it! I love willow trees... especially the weeping willow. I believe Hans Christian Anderson wrote a story about a willow tree... I have it somewhere... will look it up and let you know if I find it.
