POEM STARTER

You are out walking when you see a person sitting alone on a bench under a Willow tree, crying. Write a poem about them.

This could be written as though you are observing the person but not interacting, or as though you have approached the person and offered to help.

O Willow

Willow, o Willow, It looks like you’re here again. Don’t cry, Willow. Unlearn what you have learnt, Willow. Sit with me, Willow. Are you living, Willow? Are you enjoying it, Willow? Are you being kind, Willow? Willow, it’s not easy. Willow, you will become yourself. Willow, you need to be kind. Willow, your life was never intended to be a punishment. Enjoy it, Willow.
