Unwinnowed Willow Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Unwinnowed Willow



Crowned canopy through branchwork downward sends
light's waves with subtle photosynthesis.
From root-tapped caves, sap rises, windward wends
well's spells, weaves leaves, leaves Nature's niche to tend
fresh twigs that passing breezes blending bend.
Entrancing dance, no copy dream-theme, this
scene stores much magic. Silent roots extend.
tomorrow's shoots as timed rings reminisce.

Athwart greensward will sorrow willow weep
spent seconds Chronos culls as harvest reap.
Along time's river willows bank dew, keep
due streaming watch till all turns to Styx sleep.

For previous version see below

Crowned canopy through branchwork downward send
with subtle photosynthesis light's waves,
while upward rising sap from root-tapped caves
weaves well's spells, leaves leaves to tend
fresh twigs that passing breezes bend
in dance entrancing, beckoning, no slaves
could copy dream-theme scene which saves
magic stored for future friend.
