** My Weeping Willow Tree! Poem by RAJ NANDY

** My Weeping Willow Tree!

Rating: 3.1


MY WEEPING WILLOW TREE!
Somewhere within my heart unknowingly,
A weeping willow had taken roots secretly!
It got nurtured over the years by my forlorn
and sad thoughts;
By many heartaches and unrequited love, -
The mind seemed to have forgot!
Now the willow has become a full grown
tree!
It bends over my mind like a shadow -
to torture me!
It sheds its salty tears periodically, -
The willow has now become a part of
Me!
-Raj Nandy

touching metaphor. Incidently i always wonder why its called a weeping willow. one learns in life that you have to carry your cross alone, very poignant poem. i too was inspired to write a haiku- Weeping Willows sometime back. 10 Mamta

There is probably a legend about a Willow Tree. I find them simply beautiful. Just as she weeps I am sure she can dry tears with the swish of her glorious tresses. 10 Karin Anderson

In spite of the sadness of the weeping willow tree, your energy still seems to shine through!
