River Willows

sweeping green tresses
a young girl's glory by day
playful overhang

Wow, these last two poems of yours are a deviation from the norm for you! I like it! Just proves a good poet can write in any style! I grew up in New Jersey and we had many weeping willows in our yard. I pictured them as I read your words. Lydi**

A powerful scene, Chris. Long green branches stroking the surface of the water and gliding into the shelter
of the overhang to escape a rain.

Well done.

[Chris Shaw]

You provide a wonderful picture of the river bank as you sail slowly along just taking in the tranquility and air and sounds. Lovely. Lucky you!

There is so much to see and write about. Unfortunately I have to be sociable and put my pen down at times. Thank you John.
