You
underneath,
brushing the willow,
swallow many branches, while
brushing the willow
underneath
you.

Silence,
they hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat.
Scratch the bark,
they hear the
silence.

You
underneath
brushing the willow,
silence!
They hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat;
scratch the bark
they hear the
silence,
brushing the willow
underneath
you.

This is experimental, so I'm open to any ideas along with critique. There is a meaning, but the poem is basically up for interpretation. Thanks for reading.

[EDIT] Wow, a DD. I never though that could happen. Thanks so much *salshep and ^PoeticWar. Words cannot express my gratitude.

Wow, this is great! Love the structure, very unusual and the way the two strophes blend together is brilliant. Is this a known form? If not, you should name it! The sounds are nice too. As to the meaning, it is a bit obscure, but it sounds like some sort of creature at first.. though with the symbolism of the willow, I thought of a woman weeping. The 'swallow many branches' confused me a bit, but I liked it anyway, lol. I'm going to think on this a bit more. Thanks for posting it!

<salshep> <ordie>I should wite something awsome
<salshep> It's true
<ordie> You're write. That's my one-size-fits-all reort.

#Cabal. Because someone needs to be.
Hey, thanks for reading! Yes, the structure is unknown. I made this up, but I highly doubt it will be known, even though it is quite difficult to write by. You were almost correct in your interpretation. Yes, the poem refers to a person, more particularly a woman, but it's really not specific.

The image of a woman weeping beneath the willow is pretty good interpretaion. The poem does carry a feel of gloom, and you can even pick up a sense of death. I did make this poem a little abstract, but that's how I wanted the form to be. The poem has no story to it, basically just a setting and a situation combined with a message... that's why I believe it's ok to be so obscure.

Refrain from calculating your juvenile poultry before the incubation process has been executed... man I need a new signature.

Go to =DailyDeviants NOW! We demand your attention :D
I'd call it a selection of extended palindromes, I guess - but mostly I'd just call it fantastic. Congratulations on your DD!
Precious poem, full of melancholy and mistery...really deserves the DD, congrats! (:

"Love is a verb, love is a doing word."
Now THAT is just plain nifty! I love it! I also kinda did that in a song I wrote, 'It's Not A Lie, It's An Allegory,' but that is beyond awesome, where mine was just lame.

Awesome. ^.^

So I start off toward somewhere new.
And I know the beauty will come shining through
All this dark rain and unfriendly snow.
Yes, there’s always a tomorrow.
I have never Faved a Featured Poem before, but ironically, for a layman, I love the structure of it! :D
Well earned DD sir! You did something nifty here!

More poems should be suggested for daily deviations, especially when they are as innovative and interesting as yours.
Congrats on the DD, =D It was very well earned.

interesting form, i think its a fave for originality. Overall its a tad simplistic wordwise... It still sounds great though
really strange (in a good way).
saw this on dd, and definitely deserves it.
