The quiet willow softly blossoms,
With her gentle blush of red,
Love's tender touch so shyly felt,
Through sunshine spilled overhead.
It happened back in springtime,
When fresh blossoms showed their face,
Their fragrant delicate beauty,
Softly held your warm embrace.
Then came nurturing rains of summer,
Mists of change filled the air,
Soft heard such gentle whispers,
Your true kind and loving care.
Autumn breezes brought you closer,
Warm bright colours transform so free,
By season's journey I had discovered,
All you've come to mean to me.
Starless nights, draw ever countless,
As I breathe chilled winter air.
At my lips your echo lingers,
Silence taunting.....you're not there.
Willow moments as this flicker,
Through dreams, your candle burns,
This light for you; forever,
Your season never turns.
The seasons of love and loss, a very moving and well written poem thank you Elaine
Congratulations on getting Poem of the Day! This is as smooth as silk, flows well, and while the loss of love touches the reader's heart, the poem keeps its elegance and does not bash him over the head with it. Very well done.

To Elaine A groundhog ate my tulip bulbs I saw him in the morn; Their bursting heads Had barely blazed Their petals chewed, now torn; Beauty has no special right To exist upon the dawn I hold their limpid tooth worked spears And helpless glower and mourn. The flower I thought to give to you In tribute to your form Was eaten by that waddling rat Who sniffs the air with scorn.
