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.

Willow Man

The Willow leaves drop as tears fall from his eyes

Dropping on his head as he cries

Pure emotion so raw and beautiful

Why do you come here and feel so sad?

Was it a hard day did it go bad?


His cries were as loud as a lions roar

Half the block could hear him as if it was a snore

People watch wonder and wonder what made him so sore

As I watch in opposite of complete bore


I want to come by see what is the issue

Maybe even pat your back or offer you a tissue

Now now these days come and go

Like how you heal after you stub your toe


Willow man just know

It is okay to be sad

Even put it on show

Never ruminate in these feelings

As they will fade

I wish you luck love and a beautiful day
