Willow trees wave gently on the stream. In the breeze, casting cover for hiding fish. Thin trees float readily as if lost in a dream. If only a breeze would bestow my wish. The water played the lush leaves tenderly. making waves that sweep across a calm lake. Blue and green created a color so slenderly Let us not spoil this calm scene, for God sake Water larvae are difficult to spot. Lovely birds with their wings held dots. They quietly glide by on waterways. Disrupted mirror images of the skies. Sunlight filtering through cotton clouds. Everybody has different faces and sounds. Dappled shade from the summer's sunlight. Umbrella to shelter together, in delight. Storms have arrived and set the mood. Natural disasters have led to limb shrewd. The willow remains unbowed and erect. Head held high as it stoops to connect.

Willows look pretty not only on the banks of a lake but also in gardens and forests. Poem has nice imagery and makes me wish to visit my nearby city lake,

Willows are beautiful trees commonly seen on the lake side. The calm and placid waters of the lake and the wind etching designs on them are so delightful. The lovely birds and the fish hiding under cover are all so eye catching. Another lovely poem.
