Devereaux Frazier and Beth Amanda are currently hosting the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge which was started by our star writer Christine Ray. We hope to offer all of you something that will spark your creativity and willingness to participate.
The prompts are designed to be quick challenges that can be written in 10 to 15minutes, inspire you creatively, are fun, and get everyone interacting. Please post your response to the prompt in the comments below and show your fellow posters some love and support. All members of the Go Dog Go community, including Baristas, are welcome to participate. Feel free to share this post on your own blogs and/or Facebook.
Today’s prompt: Write a piece of prose or poetry that uses the words willows, misery, and silence
Happy Writing!

Willow
Willow don’t weep for me
I won’t keep my misery inside
your billowing summer canopy.
I’ve waited
for the winter,
the winter of our discontent
which falls every year
as another page turns
and more leaves
are lost
turning golden
first
then brown
with decay
then white
with the silence
of the first snow fall
I’m waiting now
for the songs of spring
to make me smile again.
Willow don’t weep for me.

In the silence of my misery
I somehow
hear your voice
whispering through the willows
calming
soothing
caressing my pain
reminding me
you are still
always with me

A poem can be sad, yet still comfort one.

Silent Weeping
drowning her misery
in silent weeping
under the willows
