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.

Branches

Poetry

Her head hung helplessly in her hands

Like the branches of a willow tree

Her burdens weighed down on her soul

Like the branches of a willow tree

Her cries hung loosely at the edge of her lips

Like the branches of a willow tree

Still she held her ground during the storm

Like the branches of a willow tree
