I like the whole concept of this poem, I can get the whole experience of your experiment, obviously with your alliterations, which made the poem interesting and unique, the illustration is great for this poem, together they made for a refreshing, enjoyable read.

Dear Carolyn,
Unique creative post - I liked it. Double check the possessive words below -I'm not a hundred percent on them.
I enjoyed reading this one.
Thanks for sharing it.
Maureen
Edit check:
"winters snow so white" // winter's
wisdoms window " // wisdom's

I am glad you found this to be an interesting post. In the possessive plural state that wisdom and winter become, I decided to just leave them with the "s' attached and no apostrophe. You may be right I will 'dig' a bit more. I so appreciate your thoughtful read and edits. My love, Carolyn

Love ya back:)
Comment from 9999pool
This is a 'W' format poem for sure, smiles.
The willows experiencing all the joys and perils as the seasons change and the willows also undergo a metaphor of beauty.
Dreamy and mellow in summer and spring, ghastly and ghostly in winter white. The wind will carry its branches to sway in a dance.
Good write and enjoyable to read.
Cheerio, hugs, Ritchie. :)) Well done!

Comment from Spitfire
Interesting and challenging: each line must start with the same letter. Oh, I just noticed that true of the last word too. You managed a poem with a lot of alliteration and it makes sense too. I want to hug that willow.

Sweet review, (my Willow is dead, and we must cut it down, we think last years drought got it) I kept hoping it would sprout back but it didn't. I could hug it too. Thanks Shari, Carolyn
Comment from Winslow
Dear notesandmore,
A lot of W alliteration. A willow weeps within no doubt, but cries continuously cross the pond. Interesting poem but somehow caged because of your imposed constraint.
Warm regards,
Winslow

I like what you have written, willow weeps within, cries continuously cross the pond. This one was an experiment and as one reviewer said it was a mind (tongue) twister. I appreciate the review and rating. :-) Carolyn

I found this a great experiment using the W at the beginning of each line, I love the willow tree, they look so majestic cascading over the waters edge.
Well done. Mary

Comment from GE Parson
HO,Ms.Carolyn,
That took some big chunks of grey matter, and so in my no so humble opinion, earned a big 10 if I had one. Great imagination just for thinking of the subject to say nothing about developing it.
As the ol saying goes, "YOU GO GIRL!!"

Comment from krys123
The piece is done very well and I like that first word of each line like being in the alliteration reading downward.
I enjoyed this type of reading. Will the willow ever walk. That depends if the walking willow could it ever need to step a stone. However the willow can't walk. I love your use of words in this poem. Thank you for sharing and God bless.

That is an exceptional review from you, thank you so much and for enjoying Willow. Haven't seen one walking yet, but I have seen a few walking sticks made of Willow wood. :-) Carolyn

You are welcome Carolyn. I have seen walking sticks before they are very elusive.
