Hi Reese!
And

Welcome to WDC from
*Balloonr* "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! *BalloonR*


What was it about this poem that drew a strong emotional reaction from me? Partly it was because the work began with a tree, and I'm always drawn to trees.

From there, the drama built. The first part was mostly dark and I thought I might remain stuck in a downward spiral. But, from 'dressed in a fashion' the emotions escalated to something else. I felt a quick spark of being able to relate to the narrator, and a vague sense of hope seemed to shimmer on the horizon.

The lines about the willow tree were absolutely beautiful, especially when the tree 'does not weep with me'. This really brought on just how far the person had strayed, if nature itself was looking away. But then the branches, like a compassionate friend, brought back the light, leaving me feeling uplifted and calmed.

Of course, the willow tree could be metaphoric, but I liked the idea of a person reacting with something tangible. I painted an entire scene in my mind. Very nicely written.
