Willow
A woman made of tree roots and wire
absent of life within her mind
no willow in her rooted skirt
she tips a glass unfilled with dark red wine
while feeding her imaginary flowers
so beautifully divine
from a woven watering can
flowing with invisible watery dreams
her heart without any deep desires
a cat of concrete by her side
non-living amongst the cedar trees
at the top of a snow-covered mountain
that kisses a bright blue sky.

Poets are speaking artists, with words they give life to a dead tree..
Anything goes when the poet is inspired and his quill inflames with creativity.

I'd rather take the wine than the watering can but that's just me. What is the strange symobolism there between the two, lol? Maybe it's better I just draw my own conclusions on that too. So... is that your art, if you don't mind me asking, of course? 😊

Lol, I think most people would take the wine. Funny, I hardly ever drink wine so I'm not really sure why I gave her a wine glass just seemed like the right thing to do. I made them both. Their just decoration not really symbolizing anything. I've been a sculptor, a basket weaver, a pinata maker, a paper mache artist, and the list goes on.
