Winona

Hiding in the willow trees
that's where you'll find the huddling mess
"weeping with the willows,
it's worth the waste and the wuthering wisteria"

Winona was a funny girl,
always talking in riddles
and playing with old rotten dolls.
She claimed she saw only in blues, whites and violets,
the color of the flowering wisteria.

They said when she ran away,
that there was no use trying to find her.
They said no one could ever find her,
even though we all knew where she lie.

Under willow tree we found her,
rotted and decomposed.

Her tattered clothes and old dolls askew
along with her small old suitcase,
full of her favorite knick-knacks and toys.

Winona was nothing if not detailed.
