WILLOW

Willows are so pliable,

split open and    furry    against   the ground.

The   silky hairs underneath

let out tiny,   downy seeds.

Other willows in    the honey   regions of soil

are blown    by    young   fully developed catkins

and grow   tiny willows which   all bend easily.

A typical willow uses good protection   on the   branches

and the   tall-growing   willows are   very useful

in making   140 feet stamens   appear on   wicker furniture.

Their roots   are the   height of   Eskimos in the Arctic.

The branches, and wood and   wind   and twigs   and pistils and   roots

usually   form a   tree.


Willow is the name on the seeds

planted   on a riverbank feeding   the   flow

of Willows in   the world.

These ``trees'' are almost all   the   inch tall   ever see.
