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.
The Weeping Willow
You there
Under the willow
Why do you weep so
Your fists clench
Your teeth grate
You rock back and forth
Eyes puffy and bloodshot
Curled up in a ball
You there
Under the willow
I donβt understand, no?
Itβs a nice summer day
The birds are chirping
Critters frolicking
Sun shining down
With a breeze
You there
Under the willow
Why do those tears flow
Take a breath
Dry those eyes
Let the sun in
Feel alive
