WEEPING WILLOW by Granny Annie

See the noble willow bend
To swing it's leaves like a vine
Swaying back and forth
Giving off a lovely shine.

How could a single tree
Exude such expressive charm.
Only to inspire bored youth
To intend bringing harm?

The biggest tree in the forest
Neither dangerous or odd
Until the ax felled it's shelter
Exposing the roots and sod..

  12. Granny Annie, In regard to your comment on my blog: :-)

    "I did not understand that link was to a film. Wow, wonderful. I actually cried watching the wonder of 1936 cinema. How did you ever come across that precious little movie?"

    Glad you watched it! I tend to be a bit on the cryptic side at times (offering my readers less information, rather than more...so they are intrigued and have the space to draw their own conclusions... ;-) )

    The "Share" heading on the top of my heading refers to the idea (evoked from the sweet little film) of sharing (for Thanksgiving, as in the little film..., as it is intended to be all about, yes? ;-) )

    As to your question (and I'm so glad that you did have an emotional reaction to it...I adore the sweet 1930's film so and want to cry seeing it, too. I just noticed the section (this time) of the little ones licking the glass at the bakery!!!!) To answer your question, my son and I stumbled upon the film Somewhere in Dreamland when he was a boy of about 7 or 8 years old on T.V. My son LOVED the part where the children pull up their blankets showing them filled up...with holes!!! What a sad, sweet and MEMORABLE little film!!!!!!!

    Sending love G. A.,
    lg!
    ;-)
