Nice poem for the contest. I love the picture that accompanies the poem. I also love the image of a weeping willow (one of my favorite trees). The verse conveys a sense of peace, contentment, and pleasure. Well done.

It's a lovely three line poem and it could easily be a haiku, as well. A weeping willow is one of my favourite trees. Yes, it could easily whisper some secret in the breeze..good luck. Ulla:)))

An ambient 3 line poem bringing to life the ever moving, sweeping willow as she drapes her skirt over your veranda and whispers sweet nothings, much enjoyed Crystie, love Dolly x

That is a magnificent willow picture you've chosen. Interesting to have a willow that close to the house. It seems to speak to the inhabitants. Trees can become so familiar to us they have their place, almost like members of the family. Excellent presentation and best of luck in the contest. judi

I enjoyed your contest entry, CC. Great job with the syllable count
per line. Your art choice is supportive. I like the personification of
the willow tree.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan

This is an enjoyable read.
Sparkling in this haiku 5-7-5: Weeping Willow, in full seasonal foliage, descriptive, clear images, subtle commentary on nature and human nature.
Is the word June a creative decision or strategic choice, I wonder?
Overall lovely poem.

    Thank you so much for an insightful review. I picked "June" because it is one syllable shorter than 'summer' or 'autumn.'

Ciao ,

I love weeping willows how their long graceful branches swish in the wind.

They have a gloomy vibe about them but I am addict to sadness.

I read your notes .. I like the idea that they whisper words but I'm incline to think sad ones rather than honeyed ones.

I still enjoyed your entry !

This Haiku for Summer Day, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, finds the willow encroaching on the structures which require in visit and inspection during the day. Nice.
