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.
Weeping With The Willow
The willow weeps enough alone
You need not cry with it
I hope you understand
I need someone who understands
And
Every strand
Of emerald leaves that falls like tears from the strong trunk of the great tree
Knows me better
Than
I know the back of my own hand
I have someone who understands
Why should I keep looking?
I’ll sit and cry
Beneath sky
Beneath the tree
Because the willow is the only one who weeps with me.
