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.
Weeps Under The Willow
As I began
My evening stride
A Weeping Willow
Caught my eye
It was not
The Willow weeping
But instead I saw
Many tears seeping
A person sobbing
Under the Willow tree
Not an uncommon
Sight to see
The Willow tree
Is a place to be
To think alone
Maybe have some tea
When you are sad
You can go to the tree
And find the answers
And find the key
Underneath
The Willow tree
A person sobbing
Next to me
