Willow

~~~~~

Weeping willow dry your eyes

Tomorrow will bring sunny sky's

  Tears of sorrow should not be shed

  Think of brighter days instead

~~~

Bending branches to the ground

A resting place they have found

  Breezes drifting too and fro

  Whispering tales of woe

~~~

Sturdy roots planted in the earth

Life giving from the time of birth

  Nourished by the sap of time

  Seeds of knowledge and leaves entwine

~~~

Weep not for me old willow tree

Memories are now set free

  Think not of thoughts from the past

  Through the ages you will last

~~~

On bended knee with head held high

All of your glory reaching to the sky

  Everlasting dreams to spy

  Weep not willow do not cry

Whippoorwill

~~~

Whippoorwill on my window sill

A shiny ring held in his bill

  Singing out his morning tune

  In the early month of June

~~~

Silver chain around his neck

  Resting from the nightly trek

  A tiny note embossed in gold

   This sweet melody to be told

~~~

Whippoorwill sing softly to my ear

The ring you bring I hold very dear

  This memento taken from the dove

  A token to the one you love

~~~  

Feathered beauty take to wing

Soar high into the morning deep

  I'll wait for the gifts you bring

  Awaken from your night time sleep

   On silver clouds you must fly

    We will meet another time

     In the bye and bye

~~~

Oh whippoorwill from above

The song you sing a melody

  Fly away once more return

  This token you gave to me

    With love will always burn

Tiger Tiger

Tiger Tiger in the night

Stripes to keep him out of sight

  Jungle cat on the prowl

  Sharpened teeth and a growl

~~

Stealthy haunches as he creeps

Hidden prey he does seek

  Every muscle tightly coiled

  On the alert never foiled

~~

Eyes that flash emerald green

Through the bush how they gleam

  Always seeking with his might

  Never losing his keen sight

Tiger paws leaving tracks

Straight ahead then circle back

  Climb a tree then sit and spy

  A victim soon will wander by

~~

This is not your tame feline

Not the fluffy petting kind

  Wild and fierce it stares at you

  The kind you see in a zoo
